Career

Three years after first taking up cricket, Smith made her international debut at the 2022 France Women's T20I Quadrangular Series on 5 May 2022 in a match against the host nation during which she took a wicket. [2] The following day she became the first Jersey woman to score a WT20I half-century when she hit 59 not out off 43 balls including eight 4s as Jersey beat Spain with Smith named player of the match. [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]

In the tournament final against the French she smashed a 40-ball 56 not out as Jersey successfully chased a victory target of 126 with 3.2 overs to spare, again earning herself player of the match honours. [2] [3] [5] [7] [8] [9]

At the start of June 2022, Smith was nominated for the ICC Women's Player of the Month Award. Shortlisted alongside Pakistan duo Tuba Hassan and Bismah Maroof, it was the first time any cricketer from Jersey - male or female - had been put up for an ICC monthly best player award. [2] [5]

Later that month she was named in the Jersey squad for the Women's T20I Inter-Insular Cup at home against neighbours Guernsey. [10]

Smith was among the Jersey contingent which finished third at the 2023 ICC Women's T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier, with her personal highlight being a knock of 23 in a 108-run win against Sweden. [11]

She got her first taste of captaining the national side when she led the squad on a tour of Northern Ireland which included two T20 matches against Ireland Women’s U19 Academy in June 2024. [12]

The following month, Smith made 22 and shared a 79-run partnership with Charlie Miles as Jersey retained the 2024 WT20I Inter-insular Cup for the third successive year with a 104-run win over Guernsey at Grainville Cricket Ground in St Saviour. [13] [14] [15]

In August 2024, Smith was among the British and Irish Roses squad selected to take on Team Europe in the inaugural Meltl Shield, a nine-match T10 competition, held at Roma Cricket Ground in Rome, Italy. [16]
