Domestic career
Carr made her county debut for Devon in 2008, at the age of 14, in which she scored 13 runs in a victory over Cornwall.[2][7] Carr soon became a regular for Devon over the following years, and was part of the England Development Squad that won the Women's European Cricket Championship in 2010.[8] She achieved her maiden List A century in 2019, scoring 105 for Devon against Middlesex.[9]
From 2017 to 2019, Carr played in the Women's Twenty20 Cup for Middlesex, and was part of their side that won the tournament in 2018.[10] In February 2020, it was announced that Carr was joining Middlesex from Devon in both formats.[2] She scored 45 runs in four matches for the side in the 2021 Women's Twenty20 Cup.[11]
Carr was also part of the Western Storm squad for every season of the Women's Cricket Super League, from 2016 to 2019, but did not play a match.[5] In 2020, she joined Sunrisers for the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy, and was subsequently named as captain of the side.[1] Whilst her side finished bottom of the South Group, Carr hit 99 in a match against South East Stars.[12] In December 2020, it was announced that Carr was one of the 41 female cricketers that had signed a full-time domestic contract.[13] She played eight matches for the side in 2021, across the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy and the Charlotte Edwards Cup, with a top score of 25, missing parts of the season due to injury.[14][15][16] She also played five matches for London Spirit in The Hundred, scoring 19 runs and making two stumpings.[17]
