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]
