Since her international debut at 14 years of age she played in 111 women's One Day International (ODI) and 92 women's Twenty20 international (T20I) matches. Anisa is the first cricketer (male or female) to take 100 wickets in T20Is,[1] with 113, the most the international format. In women's ODIs, she is currently fourth on the all-time dismissals list with 145 wickets to her name.

Early life

Mohammed was born in Maraj Hill, Coalmine, a small village in Sangre Grande, Trinidad and Tobago. Her parent introduced her and her twin sister Alisa to the game of cricket. Taking to the game from a young age she was appointed captain of her local community team, the MAAAD Rangers, which was formed by her family. She was educated at the Sangre Grande Hindu School, the SWAHA Hindu College and the School of Continuing Studies, Trinidad and Tobago.

After good performances for the local club, she was called up the Trinidad and Tobago women's national cricket team.[2]

International career

Debut and earlier years

Mohammed made her One Day International debut in the West Indies' group stage match of the 2003 IWCC Trophy against Japan, becoming the 51st player to do so. Taking to field 12 days shy of her 15th birthday, Mohammed took the wicket of Ritsuko Hiroto to the finish the match with figures of 1/4 off her 10 overs.[3]

She was then selected for her first international tour when the West Indies toured India and Pakistan in 2003–04. In the seventh ODI against Pakistan at Asghar Ali Shah Cricket Stadium in Karachi, Mohammed took 2/17 in only her fourth international match.[4] She played in one match for the West Indies during the group stage of the 2005 Women's Cricket World Cup in South Africa against Ireland. Following both the West Indies and the host nation elimination, the teams played three ODIs in Pretoria where she failed to take a wicket in her two matches.[5]

Return from hiatus

It would be three years until the West Indies played another match due to a lack of funding by the WICB.[6] In June 2008, the West Indies returned to the international arena when they toured Europe.[7] During that tour, the West Indies contested their first Twenty20 International match, where they defeated Ireland by 75 runs.[8] Mohammed played in the match but didn't bat or bowl.[9] Her first wicket in the format would come just four days when the toured moved to the Netherlands in July. Taking figures of 4/20,[10] she collected her first the player of the match award.[11]

The 2009 Women's Cricket World Cup in Australia saw Mohammed play in all three group stage matches and two of the Super Sixes matches. She took a total of four wickets at an average of 34.00 in the tournament[12] where the West Indies finished in fifth place.[13] Following the World Cup, she toured to South Africa where at the Newlands Cricket Ground in Cape Town in the second T20I she took five wickets for just ten runs,[14] becoming only the third player to take a five-wicket haul in women's Twenty20 International cricket.[15]

2010 ICC Women's World Twenty20

In the leadup to the 2010 ICC Women's World Twenty20 hosted by the West Indies in May, Sri Lanka toured the host nation to play two ODIs and three T20Is.[16] In the first ODI at the St Paul's Sporting Complex in St Paul's, Mohammed received her first player of the match in the format. Coming to the crease with the score at 92 for 8 and chasing 133, Mohammed and Shanel Daley put together a 41-run ninth wicket partnership to steer the West Indies to victory with three balls to spare.[17] At the same venue two days later, Mohammed was named captain in place of the absent Merissa Aguilleira for the second ODI.[18] Unfortunately for Mohammed, she could not skipper her side to a series victory with Sri Lanka winning the match by 38 runs and drawing the series 1 all.[19] She went to captain the side again in third and final match of the T20I series.[20] In another player of the match performance, she took four wickets for nine runs, including the final wicket in the penultimate over to win match by 28 runs.[21] In the previous match, Mohammed took figures 4/26 becoming only player to take consecutive four-wicket hauls in women's T20Is.[22]

At the World Twenty20 event, Mohammed played in all three group stage matches and was named player of the match in the West Indies' two run victory over England where she bowled 2/9.[23] Her best figures in the tournament came in final group stage match against Australia where despite taking 3/17 and restricting the Southern Stars to 133, the West Indies were unable to run down the target and lost by nine runs.[24] The West Indies lost their semi final to New Zealand[25] and Mohammed finished the competition with a total of six wickets at an average of 11.83.[26]

Six months later in Potchefstroom, South Africa, Mohammed took part in the 2010 ICC Women's Cricket Challenge – a series of ODIs and T20Is matches contested by the West Indies, South Africa, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, the Netherlands and Ireland. In the ODI series, Mohammed played in all five matches where the West Indies finished second behind South Africa. She secured her second player of the match award in the format with figures of 4/26 in a match where the West Indies comfortably defeated Sri Lanka by nine wickets.[27][28] In the T20Is series, the West Indies won the final against Sri Lanka with Mohammed taking five wickets across the three matches.[29][30]

The West Indies finished the season by touring India in January 2011[31] where Mohammed was the West Indies leading wicket taking in the ODI series with eight and produced the best bowling figures with 4/27 in a series which India won 3–2.[32][33]

Pakistan's tour in 2011

The August–September 2011 Pakistan tour the West Indies saw Mohammed produce one of the most dominating performances in the women's game. In the opening game of the four match ODI series, Pakistan were rolled for 82 with Mohammed taking 5/5 from her 10 overs[34] – becoming the second West Indian bowler to take five-wicket hauls in a women's ODI match. Two days later, she produced another five-wicket haul, taking four of Pakistan's top six to finish with 5/7.[35] Both of these spells earned her player of the match honours.[27] In the final match she took 4/17 to finish the series with 14 wickets at average of just 3.57,[36] collecting her first player of the series award.

Her great form continued into the 2011 Women's Cricket World Cup Qualifier in Bangladesh two months later. She took her third five-wicket haul against Pakistan in as many matches. She was rested for the pool matches against Japan and Bangladesh before returning for the semi final match against Sri Lanka where she took 3/29 in 6 overs. Mohammed produced one of the most memorable cricketing performances in the final against Pakistan where she took 7 wickets for 14 runs – the fourth best bowling figures in history of women's ODI cricket. Winning by 130 runs, the West Indies finished the tournament undefeated and qualified for the 2013 Women's Cricket World Cup.[37] She finished 2011 with 37 ODI wickets, the most in a calendar year, overtaking Australia's Charmaine Mason long standing record set in 2000.[a][38]

2018 World Twenty20

In October 2018, Cricket West Indies (CWI) awarded her a women's contract for the 2018–19 season.[39][40] Later the same month, she was named in the West Indies' squad for the 2018 ICC Women's World Twenty20 tournament in the West Indies.[41][42] Ahead of the tournament, she was named as one of the players to watch.[43]

Five-wicket hauls

Mohammed has taken a total of seven five-wicket hauls in women's international cricket, five in ODIs[44] and two in T20Is.[45] She is the only player to achieve either of these feats.[46][47]
