Career

Aged 16, Barnett opened the bowling and batting as she won player of the match in the Isle of Man's first-ever WT20I against Norway in Almería, Spain, on 12 November 2022. She took 2/2 in her four overs then scored 16 not out as her team successfully chased a target of 47 in just 4.3 overs to win by 10 wickets. [2] [3] The match was part of the 2022 Spain Women's Pentangular Series also involving the host nation, Italy and Sweden. Barnett compiled her maiden WT20I half-century - and the first by an Isle of Man player - in the game against Italy, finishing with 64 from 64 balls to again take player of the match honours although this time in a losing effort. [2] [4]

She made the highest score of her international career to date when she smashed 65 from 48 balls in the first of a three-match bilateral series with Austria on 30 July 2023. [5] [6]

The next month, Barnett was named player of the tournament as the Isle of Man won the 2023 Women's Continental Cup in Romania. Across her team's four matches, she registered a total of 173 runs without being dismissed including a knock of 42 not out in the final against Greece. As well as her success with the bat, she took six wickets and two catches along with effecting a run-out during the four-team competition which also featured Romania and Malta. [7] [8]

In October 2023, Barnett was announced as one of 19 players selected to be part of the Emerging Players Programme at English professional club Central Sparks for the 2024 season. [8] [9]

Barnett captained the Isle of Man for the first time on 5 May 2024, in a three-match bilateral series with Guernsey held in Winchester, Hampshire, England, [10] marking the occasion by taking three wickets. [10] [11]

In August 2024, she was leading run scorer as Isle of Man whitewashed Malta in a three-match bilateral series at Marsa Sports Club, Marsa, Malta, scoring 51 runs across two innings including 35 off 30 balls in the opening match. [12] [13]

Later that month at the same venue and against the same opposition in the first match of the Valletta Cup, Barnett scored an unbeaten 31 off 25 balls to steer her team to a nine-wicket victory. [14] In her side's third match of the tournament she made 88 off 50 balls including 15 4s against Serbia before retiring due to illness. [15] She followed that up in their next contest by hitting 96 off 62 balls including 12 4s and four 6s against Greece. [16] Barnett then scored 67 off 34 balls with 11 4s in the tournament final against the Greeks as the Isle of Man won by seven wickets and she was named both player of the match and overall tournament having made a total of 282 runs across the event.
