Lucy Barnett (born 6 October 2006) is a cricketer who plays for the Isle of Man women's cricket team. She is the first player from her country to score a half-century in a WT20I.
Career[edit]
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 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.[9][8]
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]
