Strano announced herself as one of the top specialist T20 spinners in the country in 2014-15, topping the wicket-taking in the women’s domestic T20 competition with 22 wickets at 12.59.

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 Women, taking 18 wickets for the tournament to be named the Renegades’ most valuable player for WBBL.

She made her Women's Twenty20 International cricket (WT20I) debut against New Zealand on 17 February 2017.[2]

In November 2018, she was named in the Melbourne Renegades' squad for the 2018–19 Women's Big Bash League season.[3][4] 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.[5]
