Shabnim Ismail (born 5 October 1988) is a South African international cricketer who made her debut for the South African national team in January 2007.
Ismail plays as a right-arm fast bowler, and is one of the fastest female bowlers in the world, with one of her deliveries in January 2016 being recorded at 128 kilometres per hour (80 mph). She has represented her country at the 2009 and 2013 World Cups, and is currently South Africa's all-time leading wicket-taker in both the One Day International (ODI) and Twenty20 International formats.
Ismail made her senior debut for Western Province in October 2005 (aged 17), during the 2005–06 season of South Africa's Women's Provincial League. She took 15 wickets in her debut season, the second-most for Western Province behind Shandre Fritz and Alexis le Breton. This was followed by 21 wickets during the 2007–08 season, which was the sixth-most in the competition. Ismail has played in the Provincial League's final on a number of occasions throughout her career. She switched from Western Province to Gauteng for the 2015–16 season.
In December 2015, several weeks into the inaugural 2015–16 season of Australia's Women's Big Bash League, Ismail signed with the Melbourne Renegades. She was called up as a short-term replacement for New Zealander Rachel Priest (one of the team's overseas players), who had had to return to her home country for a period. On debut against the Melbourne Stars, Ismail took 3/10 from four overs, together with Molly Strano (5/15) helping restrict the Stars to just 85/9 from 20 overs. She played only one more game (also against the Stars) before Priest returned to the line-up, but failed to take a wicket.
