Hailing from a small town in Surrey, her passion for the sport was evident from a tender age. Her earliest memories involve afternoons spent at the local cricket club, mastering both bat and ball, traits that would later define her as a formidable allrounder.

Izzy’s journey began in earnest when she represented her school team, quickly earning a reputation as a player with natural flair and steadfast determination. Her breakthrough came when she joined the Surrey Under-15s, where she honed her adaptable batting approach. Known for her keen ability to adjust her technique based on the opposition, Izzy became a player who could anchor an innings or accelerate the scoring rate as needed.

With the ability to oscillate between medium pace and spin depending on the match situation, she often left batsmen guessing, adding a strategic depth to the Vipers' bowling attack.

One of her career-defining moments came in a tense match against the Western Storm, where Izzy's all-round performance—scoring a rapid 70 and then taking 4 crucial wickets—secured a pivotal win for her side and solidified her status as a rising star.

Over the years, Sharp has been part of numerous championship-winning teams, leaving her mark on every tournament she participated in.

Sharp's career reached another high during the 2022 domestic season when she set a record for the fastest century in the league’s history, smashing an unbeaten 104 off 55 balls.
