Her talents also earned her a place in the Commonwealth Bank Shooting Stars squad in 2014-15 and her miserly performances have ensured she should enter into calculations for future Southern Stars teams.
Strano missed the 2015–16 WNCL season through injury but bounced back during the inaugural season of the WBBL for the Melbourne Renegades, taking 18 wickets in the tournament to be named the Renegades’ most valuable player.
She made her WT20I debut against New Zealand on 17 February 2017.[3]
In November 2018, she was named in the Melbourne Renegades' squad for the 2018–19 Women's Big Bash League season.[4][5] In February 2020, she was added to Australia's squad for the 2020 ICC Women's T20 World Cup, replacing Tayla Vlaeminck who was ruled out due to an injury.[6]
On 15 November 2020, Strano became the first player to take 100 wickets in the Women's Big Bash League Twenty20 competition.[7] In March 2021, Strano was added to Australia's Women's One Day International (WODI) squad for their series against New Zealand.[8]
In August 2021, Strano was named in Australia's squad for their series against India, which included a one-off day/night Test match as part of the tour.[9] In January 2022, Strano was named in Australia's A squad for their series against England A, with the matches being played alongside the Women's Ashes.[10]
