Sanders made her debut on England's first post-war tour of Australia and New Zealand in early 1949, reaching 54, her highest Test score, in a victory over New Zealand at Auckland. She scored another half-century, against Australia, at Scarborough in 1951.[3]

Off the field, Sanders was a biochemist, who worked on lipids at the Courtauld Institute of Biochemistry at Middlesex Hospital. She published scientific papers on Lipids and Lipid Metabolism, describing a modification of an existing scientific process using column chromatography to separate and identify lipids from human brain cell matter, allowing phosphatidylserine to be isolated more simply and quickly.[4][5]
