Sarah Glenn (born 27 August 1999) is an English cricketer who plays for the England women's cricket team as a leg break bowler. She also plays for Derbyshire, The Blaze, London Spirit and Brisbane Heat.[1] After making her England debut in 2019, she played in the 2020 ICC Women's T20 World Cup and broke into the top 10 of the ICC T20I Bowling Rankings later that year.[2] In September 2022, she rose to second in the Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) bowling rankings.[3]

Glenn was born on 27 August 1999 in Derby. She was home-schooled for much of her early education, and later attended Trent College, where she played boys' first XI cricket.[1] Her sister, Hannah, played cricket for Derbyshire between 2008 and 2011, whilst her uncle Michael played for Derbyshire CCC in 1975 and 1976.[4] Glenn played hockey at junior international level, and currently plays for Belper Hockey Club.[5]

Domestic career

Glenn made her debut for Derbyshire in 2013, in a Women's County Championship match against Gloucestershire. She bowled four overs for 22 runs and did not bat.[6] Glenn became a regular for Derbyshire in the Women's Twenty20 Cup over the next few seasons, and was selected for the England Development Programme Under-15s competition in 2015, in which she took 7 wickets in two games, including taking 5/8 against Junior Rubies.[7][8]

After further appearances for Derbyshire and the England Academy, Glenn was selected for the regional team Loughborough Lightning for the 2017 Women's Cricket Super League. She bowled five overs in the season and went for just 13 runs at an economy of 2.60, as well as taking 4 wickets at an average of 3.25.[9] She also scored 58 runs at an average of 19.33, opening the batting in two matches.[10] Glenn moved to Worcestershire ahead of the 2018 Women's Twenty20 Cup, taking three wickets in her first tournament with her new side.[11] Glenn appeared for Loughborough Lightning again in 2018, taking three wickets with an economy of 6.87.[12] 2019 was her breakthrough year, however, as she took 11 wickets at an average of 18.72, with an economy of 6.05: the joint-fifth best return for a spin bowler in the competition.[5][13] Her performances in the KSL lead to her international selection in December 2019.[5]

Glenn played two matches for Central Sparks in the new Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy in 2020, taking one wicket.[14] She was signed by Perth Scorchers for the 2020–21 Women's Big Bash, in which she took 17 wickets with an economy of 6.25, ending the tournament as her side's leading wicket-taker, and joint-sixth across the tournament.[15] In 2021, she was drafted by Trent Rockets for the inaugural season of The Hundred.[16] In April 2022, she was bought by the Trent Rockets for the 2022 season of The Hundred.[17] In November 2022, it was announced that Glenn had re-joined Derbyshire from Worcestershire.[18] In February 2023, it was announced that Glenn had joined The Blaze from Central Sparks.[19] In 2025 Glenn announced she was joining Yorkshire in their debut year at Tier 1 level.
