Hunter moved to Australia in 2015. She resides at Western Sydney[2] and trains at Penrith.[3] Along with playing club cricket at Sydney, she also played for New South Wales Under-19 women's team.[4]
On a trip to Malaysia, Hunter's father contacted the CEO of Malaysian Cricket Association to suggest training for her daughter. After showing a video of how her daughter played the game, Hunter was immediately selected in the national team.[5] She made her debut in the 2019 Thailand Women's T20 Smash at the age of thirteen, holding the record for the youngest international cricketer at that time, male or female.[6]
She scored her maiden Women's Twenty20 International fifty against Singapore in the 2022 Saudari Cup.[7] She represented Malaysia in the 2022 Women's Asia Cup.[8]
