Domestic cricket

Cheatle plays for the New South Wales Breakers in the Women's National Cricket League.[3] She played her first match for the Breakers on 1 November 2015.[4]

Cheatle previously played for the Sydney Thunder in the Women's Big Bash League.[5] In the 2015–16 season, she took 18 wickets finishing equal 4th in the most wickets list.[6] She was at the bowler's end when the Thunder won the inaugural WBBL final when Claire Koski scored two runs off an overthrow.[7] She joined the Sydney Sixers ahead of the 2017–18 Women's Big Bash League season.[8]

Cheatle played her first match for the Australia women's national cricket team in a Women's Twenty20 International against India on 29 January 2016.[2]

On 26 February 2017, she made her Women's One Day International (WODI) debut against New Zealand.[9]

After missing out on Australia's squad for the 2017 World Cup in England, Cheatle was recalled to the side as part of their squad for the Women's Ashes. She was named in both the ODI squad and the Test squad.[10] However, after playing in a pink ball warm-up match against the ACT Meteors at Manuka Oval, she was unable, due to a back injury, to make a Test debut.[11]

In April 2019, Cricket Australia awarded her with a contract with the National Performance Squad ahead of the 2019–20 season.[12][13]
