From her youthful days, Sara showed a fascinating affinity for cricket, often playing informal matches with her elder brothers in local parks. Her natural talent for bowling soon became clear, and by the age of 10, she was turning heads in local leagues.

Sara made her professional debut at the dazzling age of 15 for Warksheed Women against Surrey in the County Championship, where she quickly established herself as a key player.
