She’s extremely knowledgeable, not only about cricket, but how her role in the game can help give back to others and which shapes and reshapes the world of cricket.
Isa Guha is a game changer and she does this with humility, with no need for showboating and the work of her charity takeherlead.org shows how inclusive and inspiring cricket can be.
This has to do with this remarkable person’s integrity and poise, confidence and sense of humour of which she has plenty, something many of us cricket fans have heard in her rapport with many in the game, especially “King” Warnie.
She’s played the game, so she understands its highs and lows and which happens in every sport and every facet of life.
This New Year’s honour bestowed on her is a first on many levels, and which is because Isa Guha is a first on many levels.
Perhaps most important is that she is someone who has opened the door for the generations to come who will grow up wanting to follow in the footsteps of Isa Guha, MBE and, more importantly, human busy being.
