At one time it was about breaking Mithali Raj's record of the youngest player to score an ODI century. Earlier this year, she became the first Ireland player to score centuries in both whiteball formats. Since her debut in 2021, Hunter has grown into one of the most important players for her side and the wicketkeeper-batter knows where the credit should go.

"I probably got off quite a slow start for Ireland," Hunter told this daily ahead of the Women's T20 World Cup qualifier. "I debuted in the Scotland series and probably didn't do it as well as I would have liked.

I've grown into (the role) and then it is the support from the management. They've backed me and given me a role within the team which has helped me.
