Currently, Perry is in action with the Australian team in the ongoing white-ball assignment against Pakistan women’s cricket team. Meanwhile, a video is making rounds on social media in which young Pakistan all-rounder Fatima Sana can be seen making an effort to meet and talk to her childhood idol and veteran all-rounder Ellyse Perry.

The video has been posted on the official Twitter handle of the Australian Women’s cricket team. In the video, Sana is making a request to Australian player Jessica Jonassen to make a talk possible with Ellyse Perry after the conclusion of the third and last of the three-match ODI series.

“Can I talk to Perry?” asked nervous and anxious Sana to which Jonassen replied that she can approach Perry in the similar way she came to Jonassen.
