Career

Aged 14, Greig played in Jersey's first officially recognised WT20I against neighbours Guernsey for the 2019 T20 Inter-Insular Cup at College Field, Saint Peter Port, on 31 May 2019. Batting at number five, she scored four runs off 16 balls. [2] [3]

Later that year she was in the Jersey team that finished runners-up at the France Women's T20I Quadrangular Series. [4] Greig was the side's top run-scorer and the second highest overall among the four teams at the event. [5] Playing alongside her was her younger sister, Nia, whose appearance aged 11 years and 40 days, made her the youngest person to play international cricket. [6] [7]

Greig was among the Jersey squad which went one better and lifted the trophy at the 2022 France Women's T20I Quadrangular Series. [8] [9] [10] [11]

She made her first home international appearances in the newly expanded three-match 2022 Women's Inter-Insular Cup against Guernsey at Grainville Cricket Ground. [12] Greig top scored for Jersey in both the first and second matches with 29 not out [13] and 23 respectively [14] as the islanders swept the series.

Greig was part of the Jersey contingent which contested the 2023 ICC Women's T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier. [15]

Later that year, she made 26 not out as Jersey successfully chased 85 in just 12 overs to defeat Guernsey in the second match of the 2023 WT20I Inter-Insular Cup and clinch the trophy with a game to spare. [16] [17]
