On the second ball of the 13th over, she picked the wicket of batter Kiran Navgire, followed by Simran Shaikh and Sophie Ecclestone. After her hat-trick, Wong’s name was doing the rounds across social media platforms. She is just 20, and apart from WPL, she has also played in the Women’s Big Bash League and The Hundred.
Wong’s full name is Isabelle Eleanor Chih Ming Wong. She was born in London, but her family moved to Warwickshire when she was just five. She started her training at the age of eight at Knowle and Dorridge Cricket Club.

There are no confirmed reports of Wong dating anyone as of now. Wong is of Chinese heritage. Wong’s mother, Rachael, is a freelance writer on cricket-related topics. Dom (Issy’s father) is of Macanese ancestry. She also has one brother named Buster Wong.
It is interesting that two of Wong’s granduncles played for the Hong Kong National cricket team. One of her granduncles, Donald Anderson, made his debut for the Hong Kong cricket team at 17 years of age. He has later killed in the 1941 Hong Kong War where he was serving the Hong Kong army.
Is Issy Wong dating Katie George?
Although Wong has not made an official announcement with respect to her present relationship status, she is reportedly in a same-sex relationship with her Central Sparks (English domestic women’s team) teammate Katie George.
It is worth a mention that Wong has posted a lot of pictures of her on Instagram with George. Both of them have vacationed together in the past. For those unaware, George is a left-arm pacer and has also represented England across five T20Is and two ODIs.
