Australian pacer Megan Schutt has been blessed with a baby girl. Megan revealed on Saturday that her wife Jess gave birth to daughter Rylee via an emergency C-section on August 17.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"Rylee Louise Schutt was born on Tuesday evening following a 28-week pregnancy, weighing in at 858 grams," wrote Megan in a Twitter thread. The post was accompanied by a series of pictures of the happy couple with their new-born.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"Our little miracle was born via emergency C-section … from 24 weeks we were told our complications meant she could need to arrive anytime onwards. So for almost 5 weeks we had our overnight bags packed, wondering how far we could get," said Megan.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"Now she's thriving on the outside a long road ahead but little miss is already smashing goals. Jess was\/is one tough cookie, incredible to be a part of it all and I couldn't be more proud of my wife already the amazing Mum I knew she would be. I am a lucky human to have two such beautiful girls in my life," concluded Megan's thread.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Megan married her long-time partner Jess Holyoake in March 2019. It was in May 2021 that she announced that Jess was expecting their first child with due date set for early November.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"Congratulations to you both, she's beautiful!" wrote Australian pacer Lauren Cheatle.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"Congratulations to you both! Such a special time. She's gorgeous," commented New Zealand captain Amy Satterthwaite.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"Congratulations you two!" wrote Amy's partner and New Zealand pacer Lea Tahuhu.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"Congrats guys. So happy for you both," wrote former Australian cricketer Lisa Sthalekar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Megan has represented Australia in 65 ODIs and 73 T20Is since her international debut in 2012, taking 99 and 96 wickets respectively.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

She was the leading wicket-taker during Australia's triumphant 2020 T20 World Cup win with 13 wickets, including 4\/18 in the final against India at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).<\/p>\r\n\r\n

With the multi-format series against India starting from September 19, Megan had requested not to be considered for selection citing personal reasons.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
