She has a twin sister, Alisa, and twin brothers, Ashmeed and Ashmeer.[6] Her father, Imtiaz, is a Muslim, and her mother, Leela, a Hindu.[7] Both were keen cricketers: Imtiaz played for a club, and Leela participated in soft-ball cricket at the club level.[7] They also introduced their daughters to the game.[6][8]
At a young age, Mohammed was appointed captain of her local community team, the MAAAD Rangers, which was formed by her family. She was educated at the Sangre Grande Hindu School, the SWAHA Hindu College and the School of Continuing Studies, Trinidad and Tobago.[6]
After good performances for the local club, she was called up theTrinidad and Tobago women's national cricket team.[9]
Mohammed made her One Day International debut in theWest Indies' group stage match of the2003 IWCC Trophy againstJapan, becoming the51st player to do so.
