Career

edit

Aged 14, Mallet played as wicket-keeper in Jersey's first officially recognised WT20I against neighbours Guernsey for the 2019 T20 Inter-Insular Cup at College Field, Saint Peter Port, on 31 May 2019. She also opened the batting, scoring 23 off 14 balls including hitting five 4s.[2][3]

Later that year, and having relinquished the wicket-keeping gloves, she was in the Jersey team that finished second at the France Women's T20I Quadrangular Series.[4]

Now operating as a seam-bowler, Mallet was among the Jersey squad which went one better and lifted the trophy at the 2022 France Women's T20I Quadrangular Series[5] taking three wickets for 15 runs against Austria.[6][7]

She made her first home international appearance in the final match of the newly-expanded three-game 2022 Women's Inter-Insular Cup against Guernsey at Grainville Cricket Ground, taking one wicket for the cost of just four runs in her two overs, although the contest was not an official WT20I.[8][9]

Mallet was part of the Jersey squad which finished third at the 2023 ICC Women's T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier with her personal tournament highlight being figures of 4/5 off three overs in the islanders' opening match against Italy. Two of her overs were maidens and the performance earned her player of the match honours.[10][11][12]
