Aimee Aikenhead (born 22 June 2006) is a cricketer who plays for the Jersey women's cricket team.

Career

Aikenhead was a member of the Jersey squad that came third at the 2023 ICC Women's T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier, narrowly missing out on qualification for the next stage.[1] Having been dismissed without scoring against France,[2]< she scored her first international runs in the islanders' final match against Sweden, making 13 as the team ended the tournament on a high with a 108-run win.[3][4]

She compiled her first WT20I half-century against Guernsey in the third match of the 2023 Inter-Insular Cup at King George V Sports Ground in Castel. Opening the batting, Aikenhead hit seven boundaries in a score of 57 not out off 53 balls as Jersey sealed a 3–0 series victory.[5][6][7][8]

Aikenhead was in the Jersey squad for a bilateral series against the Netherlands at Sportpark Maarschalkerweerd in Utrecht in August 2023.[9] She opened the batting for the islanders in both completed matches scoring a total of 12 runs as the team struggled against higher-ranked opposition.[10]

She was one of four players shortlisted for the 2023 Jersey Cricket Women's Cricketer of the Year.[11]
