During her international playing career from 2004 to 2011, Shelley played 122 matches for Australia across all three formats taking 153 wickets as a finger-spinner and scoring more than 3000 runs. Shelley also won four consecutive Belinda Clark awards between 2009-2012. After her playing career, Shelley transitioned into coaching in South Australia, before taking on an assistant role under Matthew Mott in the national set up in 2018 and later coaching the Perth Scorchers.
