Early life

Glenn was born on 27 August 1999 in

Domestic career

Glenn made her debut for

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

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 November 2019, she was named in England's squads for their series

Glenn was selected for the 2020 Australia women's Tri-Nation Series in January and February, and took five wickets in three matches, the joint-highest for England.[26]

In January 2020, Glenn was named in England's squad for the 2020 ICC Women's T20 World Cup in Australia.[27] England reached the semi-finals of the tournament, with Glenn taking 6 wickets, with an economy of 4.25.[28] Glenn took 3-15 in England's group stage victory over Pakistan.[29]

On 18 June 2020, she was named in a squad of 24 players to begin training ahead of international women's fixtures starting in England following the

In December 2021, Glenn was named in England's squad for their

tour to Australia to contest the Women's Ashes.[40] In July 2022, she was named in England's team for the cricket tournament at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England.[41]

In September 2022, she moved to second position in the ICC women's T20I bowling rankings, her career best rank, after taking a four wicket haul against India.[3]
