Cricket career
editHaving represented Jersey since she was 13-years-old,[2] Greechan played in the island's first officially recognised WT20I against neighbours Guernsey for the 2019 T20 Inter-Insular Cup on 31 May 2019. Batting at number six, she scored 4 not out in her side's innings before taking the new ball and sending down Jersey's first-ever WT20I delivery, going on to take one wicket for 20 runs in her four overs.[3][4]
Later that year she won the best fielder award as Jersey finished second at the France Women's T20I Quadrangular Series.[5]
Appointed captain of the national team in 2020,[2] Greechan won the Jersey Cricket Women's Cricketer of the Year award in 2021 and again in 2022,[6] the latter coming after she led the islanders to victory at the 2022 France Women's T20I Quadrangular Series[7][8] and a 3–0 sweep in the newly expanded Women's Inter-Insular Cup.[9][10]
At the 2023 ICC Women's T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier division two tournament, Greechan finished as the competition's leading wicket-taker with 11 dismissals to her name.[11] That total included figures of 5/4 in a 108-run win against Sweden with three of her four overs being maidens. This made Greechan the first Jersey player to take a five-wicket haul in WT20Is.[12][13][14]
Greechan had a trial at English professional club Sunrisers in 2023.[11]
Bowls career
editIn April 2015, aged just 14, Greechan won the IIBC Championships Mixed Pairs world title with her father, Thomas.[15][16] She retained the crown a year later alongside Malcolm De Sousa.[17]
Greechan won the 2023 Channel Islands Indoor Bowls Championship women's pairs title with Megan Kivlin, defeating Guernsey duo Alison Merrien and Shirley Petit in the final.[18]
In May 2024, she was selected to represent Jersey at that year's European Championships to be held in September in Ayr, Scotland.[19]
