She also plays for the Warriors team in FairBreak Invitational T20 tournaments.

In December 2020, Bryce was named the ICC Associate Cricketer of the Decade. In June 2021, she became the first cricketer for Scotland, male or female, to make it into the top ten of the ICC Player Rankings. Her younger sister, Sarah, also plays international cricket for Scotland.

Early life and education

Bryce was born in Edinburgh[2] into a cricket-mad family, and, together with her sister Sarah, developed an enthusiasm for all sports at an early age.[3] "We played pretty much every sport growing up, throwing every sort of ball around in the garden," she told ESPNcricinfo in 2021.[3]

As well as playing "a lot of hockey and tennis", Bryce joined a girls' cricket team at her school, George Watson's College.[3] At the age of nine, she received a mass-mailed letter at home from former Scotland international player Liz Smith, who was starting the girl's team; after signing up immediately, she went through her first-ever experience of organised cricket training.[4]

At that time, there were no other girls' school teams in Edinburgh, and so the GWC girls' team played against many University teams, made up of similarly inexperienced players.[4] In 2015 and again in 2016, the girls' 1st XI team, with Bryce as a member, won the senior-level Women's Scottish Cup tournament.[5][6]

Bryce's cricketing talent was evident from early on;[7] she was later the first girl to play in the school's boys 1st XI.[8] In 2019, she told The Scotsman:

"I grew up playing with boys but you do learn a lot from that, because they hit the ball a lot harder, etc. But if we had more women’s teams, that would help the overall standard improve.

A lot of girls don't enjoy playing with men when they're younger. It can be intimidating. You lose people from the sport and the best thing is to keep girls involved for longer."[9]

Bryce does not know whether she would have taken up cricket if there had not been a girls' team at her school, and is thankful to Smith for introducing her to the game.[4] She also joined Watsonian cricket club: "... I was playing for the girls' 1st XI, basically as a fielder but having a great time."[3]

Bryce's earliest memory of watching cricket is the 2005 Men's Ashes series, during which her whole family would gather in the living room in front of the television, while Bryce and her sister would give each other throwdowns. Andrew Flintoff, one of the stars of that Ashes series, was her first cricketing hero.[4]

When not playing cricket at school, Bryce was very engaged in music. She achieved Grade 8 in both violin and clarinet, was a member of several orchestras and sang in choirs.[8]

Becoming a full-time professional cricketer in Scotland was not an option for Bryce. After leaving school and spending a gap year playing cricket in Australia for three months, she therefore moved in 2017 to Loughborough University in Leicestershire, England, where she studied Sport and Exercise Science. The move enabled Bryce to develop her cricket full-time within a high-performance programme, albeit as an unpaid student, and only during the academic year. She credits the university for supporting her in balancing her studies with playing sport at a high-level.[8][10][11]

In April 2021, Bryce and her sister were members of an England academy team that played two pre-season T20s. The following month, they told ESPNcricinfo that it would be an agonising decision if they were asked to be part of England's national set-up.[3]

Bryce finished her sport science degree in June 2021. By then, there was sufficient professionalism in women's cricket for her to be able to make a living as a Scottish international cricketer, without having to have another job as well.[3]

Domestic career

Scotland

In 2017, after leaving school, Bryce won the third of a hat-trick of Women's Scottish Cup winner's medals with the GWC girls' 1st XI team.[6][12] She has also played women's club cricket for the Watsonian club for many years.[13] As she has explained to the Edinburgh Evening News, she appears for the club when around and available to play;[13] she continued:

"It is a shame that the Scotland girls cannot play more club cricket on Saturdays, but often they are travelling down south at weekends to play English counties with the national team.

I think it would help some of the girls to continue to learn and improve if they were exposed to more club cricket."[13]

In July 2019, Bryce played and enjoyed her first match for Watsonians men's first XI, when she took the field in an CSL Eastern Premier Division clash with Stoneywood-Dyce at Myreside. She had previously turned out for the men's second XI. Although she scored 25 runs and took a wicket in her maiden first XI match, Watsonians were defeated by six wickets.[13]

Australia

In November 2016, ahead of the WBBL|02 edition of Australia's Women's Big Bash League Twenty20 competition, Bryce was selected to be the Associate Rookie for Melbourne Stars under the ICC Associate Rookie programme.[8][14] As an Associate Rookie, she was able to train alongside ICC Full Member international players including Meg Lanning, Jess Duffin, Danielle Hazell and Nat Sciver.[8][15] She later said:

"It helped me a lot to be around top players in a big tournament, understanding how they prepare for each game and varying what they do."[9]

That Australian season, she also played for Southern Districts in the Premier Cricket league in Adelaide, South Australia.[16] The following Australian season, 2017–18, she returned Down Under for a second Associate Rookie stint, for a different team: Adelaide Strikers during WBBL|03. Simultaneously, her sister was Associate Rookie for a third WBBL team, Hobart Hurricanes.[16]

England: County cricket

Bryce's first taste of county cricket was as a very young player for the Scotland team, which participated in the Women's County Championship.[10]

When Bryce first moved south to England to attend university at Loughborough in 2017, Warwickshire's Division One county team captain Marie Kelly was also studying there. Bryce joined Kelly at Warwickshire for three seasons.[10]

England: Regional cricket

Ahead of the Women's Cricket Super League regional franchise competition in 2019, the England and Wales Cricket Board amended the tournament's regulations to allow Scotland players to appear without having to register as overseas players.[3] During a six-week stint that year, Bryce took advantage of the change to become a regular opening bowler in the competition for Loughborough Lightning, and took a total of eight wickets.[3][11]

Even at the start of the next season, 2020, Bryce was still something of an unknown quantity, after having played just one season in the newly defunct Super League.[3] However, she was appointed as captain of Loughborough's replacement team, Lightning, which covers a larger area across the East Midlands,[2][4] and her sister, who had not yet played for a regional team, was recruited to play alongside her.[3]

The sisters were signed on the basis that they would be released for international duty with Scotland as required; both were already ranked in the top 20 in the world in T20 internationals.[17]

Bryce then took 14 wickets for Lightning (including best figures of 5/29), with an economy of 3.88, in six matches in the inaugural 50-over Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy competition.[18] These were the most wickets bagged by any of her team's players in the competition, and the second-highest number taken overall;[2][18] as a batter, she finished third in her team, with 141 runs.[18]

The standout performance from Bryce that season was during Lightning's RHF Trophy match against Northern Diamonds at Durham. Bryce bagged a 5-wicket haul, and made 71*, but even that effort was not enough to overcome very strong opponents.[3]

In December 2020, Bryce and her sister were awarded full-time contracts by Lightning, in recognition of their highly successful performances that year; of the 41 players nationally who were given a full-time regional contract, they were the only ones from an ICC Associate member nation.[11][19]

As was observed by Emerging Cricket at the time, the full time contracts not only "... supported [the Bryce sisters] financially...", but also gave them "... increased access and opportunities to develop their game as professional cricketers beyond their lives as students and without having to potentially sacrifice representing their nation to earn a living overseas."[11] Bryce herself had told Women's CricZone in September 2020 that playing domestic cricket professionally made it "... more of a possibility to be able to play regional cricket, but also be able to play for Scotland at the same time."[10]

The following year, 2021, Bryce excelled in the second RHF Trophy. As well as being the second-highest run-scorer overall, with 353 runs at 50.42 including her List A high score of 162 against Central Sparks, she took 10 wickets and was named Player of the Year.[18][20][21]

In that year's inaugural Charlotte Edwards Cup Twenty20 competition, she was much less successful with the bat, making only 29 runs in three appearances, but also took five wickets.[18]

In the 2022 RHF Trophy, Bryce scored a more modest aggregate of 233 runs in five appearances, but at a higher average of 58.25.[22] She was also the only player in that season's RHF Trophy to score two centuries,[22] 109* against Thunder[23] and 104 against Sunrisers[24][25] in what turned out to be Lightning's only wins.[26] In the Charlotte Edwards Cup, she made 129 runs including a half century, and took seven wickets, in six appearances.[27]

England: The Hundred

Bryce played for Trent Rockets in The Hundred in 2021.[2] In April 2022, she was bought by the Rockets ahead of the 2022 season.[28]

For the 2023 season, Bryce was drafted by Manchester Originals.[29]

International career

2011–2017: Early years

Bryce made her international debut for Scotland's national team in 2011 at just 13 years of age, in a Women's County Championship match.[10][18] Her call-up was sudden:

"Scotland were playing in Stirling nearby and one of the girls broke her thumb in the game before and they had a double header. So, I just got the call, asking if I could come along and play. So, that's how I made my debut for Scotland. It's probably a big learning experience being able to play at that level at such a young age."[10]

For five years, she also took the field for the Scotland U17s team, and for four of those years she captained the team.[8] In her U17s international career, her most notable achievement was 173* against Lincolnshire Under 17s in 2015, during an unbroken partnership of 336 with her sister Sarah, and with their parents watching on.[8][30] In 2020, in reminiscing to Women's CricZone about that partnership, she said:

"That was probably the big step in not just putting in good performances but putting in great performances at Under-17 level which definitely, I think, caught a few people’s eye and showed that we had what it took hopefully to play and transfer that into the women's game ...

We've played with each other for a number of years now, so we're really comfortable when we’re out batting together in the middle, but we also try and challenge each other and try and beat each other at the same time, make it a bit competitive. But also, when we're struggling, we know each other so well, so it's easy to know what to say and to help each other through that. It’s probably why it's worked out so well in the past, when we've had those big partnerships. We know each other's games so well. So, the running between the wickets and things like that, most of the time, it's pretty good!"[10]

Bryce played regularly for the senior team throughout the 2010s, including in the 2015 ICC Women's World Twenty20 Qualifier in Thailand,[10] and the 2017 Women's Cricket World Cup Qualifier in Colombo, Sri Lanka, in February 2017.[31]

2018–2020: Captain, and Associate Cricketer of the Decade

Bryce was named as Scotland's new captain in April 2018, replacing Abbi Aitken.[32] She had a few nerves in taking the reins, but was able to draw on her considerable experience as captain of the U17s, and also call for advice from her predecessor, who remained in the squad.[10]

In July 2018, Bryce led the Scottish team at the 2018 ICC Women's World Twenty20 Qualifier tournament in the Netherlands.[33] During that event, on 7 July 2018, she made her Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) debut for Scotland against Uganda.[34] She also racked up the third highest aggregate number of runs, with 129, behind only Sterre Kalis of the Netherlands, and her own sister Sarah.[35]

Additionally, she was named Player of the Match in two of the matches. Against Thailand, she scored 39* and took two wickets and a catch in a 27 run victory,[36] and in a playoff against Papua New Guinea, she made 51* in leading her team to a 10 wicket victory and third place overall.[37]

In July 2018, in recognition of her performance in the qualifier, she was selected in the ICC Women's Global Development Squad.[38]

The following season, in June 2019, Bryce captained Scotland in the three team 2019 ICC Women's Qualifier Europe tournament in Spain.[39] The other two competing teams were Germany and the Netherlands.[39] Both Scotland and the Netherlands won three of their four matches, with Bryce finishing second on the aggregate run scorers table.[40] Bryce also guided Scotland to victory in her team's second matches against the Netherlands (in a super over thriller) and Germany, with 34 and 65 runs, respectively.[41][42] The Netherlands ultimately won the qualifier by recording a better net run rate, but Scotland, as the host of the next qualifying stage of the 2022 Women's Cricket World Cup, also qualified for that stage.[42][43]

Scotland, the Netherlands, Ireland and Thailand then combined to participate in a quadrangular tournament in the Netherlands in August 2019, ahead of the 2019 ICC Women's World Twenty20 Qualifier tournament in Scotland. Bryce had to miss that tournament, due to commitments with Loughborough Lightning in the English domestic Super League competition. In her absence, her sister captained the Scottish side.[44]

In late August/early September 2019, Bryce resumed the Scotland captaincy for the 2019 ICC Women's World Twenty20 Qualifier tournament.[45][46] She was the leading run-scorer in the tournament, with 168 runs in five matches.[47] Additionally, she was Player of the Match for scoring 29* and taking 2/6 in Scotland's Group A victory over the United States.[48] She also later top scored with 73* in Scotland's defeat of the Netherlands in the playoff for fifth place, but was pipped by her sister for Player of the Match in that contest.[49]

The COVID-19 pandemic then intervened. In its midst, in September 2020, Bryce told Women's CricZone that over the last couple of years the Scotland team had been rebuilding after losing several senior players.[10] However, the pandemic had made the immediate future uncertain:

"Unfortunately, we've not been able to play much this summer. It's a bit more difficult to know when we'll be able to get away and play some international fixtures. But it was looking really promising in 2018 when T20 international status gave a bit of a boost to the willingness of other teams to play more international cricket, which is really exciting."[10]

In November 2020, Bryce and her sister were both nominated for the ICC Women's Associate Cricketer of the Decade award.[50] Commenting on the two nominations, Bryce told Emerging Cricket:

"You don't really expect it, and I think it just shows how consistent we've been over the last few years and that's paid off. But it's one of those things that you don't really think about when you're actually playing. So it's really nice to have that and I hope it raises the profile of cricket in Scotland as three of the men's players have been nominated too which I think it shines a bright light on Scottish cricket which is awesome."[11]

At the end of the following month, the ICC announced that Bryce had won the award.[51][52]

2021–present: Post COVID-19

Five months later, in May 2021, Bryce led Scotland in the team's post-COVID-19 return to international competition, in a bilateral series against Ireland at Stormont in Belfast. After winning the first of the four matches by 11 runs, Scotland lost the series 1–3;[53] Bryce made a total of 96 runs overall (second only to Gaby Lewis of Ireland),[54] with her best individual performances being 2/8 in the first match, 45* in the third, and 2/23 in the fourth.[55]

In June 2021, Bryce was named the ICC Women's Player of the Month for May 2021 for her performance in the series against Ireland.[56][57] She was the first Associate woman to be nominated and the first Associate player to win the award.[57] Also in June 2021, she became the first cricketer for Scotland, male or female, to make it into the top ten of the ICC Player Rankings, when she reached 10th position among batters.[7][55][58] Additionally, she moved up to third in the T20I women's all-rounder rankings,[7][55][58] behind only Sophie Devine of New Zealand and Nat Sciver of England.[7]

Bryce then led Scotland to victory in the 2021 ICC Women's T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier,[59][60] which was originally scheduled to take place in Scotland, but moved to the La Manga Club, Spain, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and held in August 2021.[61] Scotland won all four of its matches, and therefore qualified for the 2022 ICC Women's T20 World Cup Qualifier.[60] Bryce's high point in the tournament was in the contest against Ireland, in which she was named Player of the Match after scoring 46* in 58 balls to help Scotland overcome 89 on a challenging dry and uneven pitch.[4][62][63]

In January 2022, Bryce captained Scotland's team in the 2022 Commonwealth Games Cricket Qualifier tournament in Malaysia,[64] and finished second in the tournament's table of wicket takers, with 7 wickets.[65] In both of Scotland's wins in the five-team qualifier, against Malaysia and Kenya, she was named Player of the Match, for top-scoring with 62* and 27, respectively.[66][67] However, Scotland lost its two other matches, against eventual qualifier winners Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh, respectively, and eventually finished third in a tournament in which only the first placed team qualified.[68]

Bryce then missed Scotland's next matches, during a home bilateral series against Ireland in September 2022;[69] her sister stood-in as captain.[70]

At the end of that month, Bryce returned to the team and resumed the captaincy for the 2022 ICC Women's T20 World Cup Qualifier in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.[69] In her five innings in that tournament, she made the third highest number of runs, an aggregate of 153 including two half centuries, behind only Tanya Ruma of Papua New Guinea and Nigar Sultana of Bangladesh.[71][72]

Scotland's final match of the qualifier was a playoff against Papua New Guinea for fifth place. The match was also Bryce's 100th for her country, and as well as having her sister alongside her in the team, she had her parents in the crowd. She also top scored for Scotland, with 63* in a total of 168-6, but Papua New Guinea, led by Ruma who scored a matching 63*, then overcame that total, to relegate Scotland to sixth place in the qualifier.[73]

FairBreak career

Bryce has played for the Warriors team in two FairBreak Invitational T20 competitions.[4] She had previously played in a match organised by FairBreak Global in England in July 2019.[74][75] At the inaugural Invitational tournament, held in Dubai in May 2022, she did not feature prominently, making only 31 runs at 15.50 and taking 2 wickets.[76]

During the second tournament, in Hong Kong in April 2023, she was much more successful. In particular, she helped the Warriors to victory against South Coast Sapphires, in which she took 3/25, and against the Falcons, for which she was named Player of the Match after taking the important wickets of Chamari Athapaththu and Marizanne Kapp, and a catch to dismiss Falcons captain Suzie Bates.[77] Later, against Barmy Army, she took 2/29, and then scored 45 runs in 26 balls, but Barmy Army won that match, by 17 runs.[78]

Playing style

Bryce is an all-rounder who bowls swinging right-arm medium pacers and bats right-handed.[8][18] According to ESPNcricinfo, she "... finds prodigious inswing with a new white ball ... and is an improving batter ..."[2]

Matt Roller wrote for ESPNcricinfo in May 2021 that Bryce's outstanding performance in Lightning's Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy match against Northern Diamonds the previous season:

"... epitomised Kathryn as a player: an anchoring No. 3 at domestic level who can manipulate the field and score heavily down the ground after getting set, and a new-ball bowler with the ability to swing the ball prodigiously into the right-handers. She is a swing bowler rather than an out-and-out quick - to the extent that [her sister] Sarah stands up to the stumps while keeping to her, but manages to get the ball tailing late."[3]

Cricket Scotland has observed that Bryce has quite often opened the bowling and batted at 3 for the national squad, and has also praised her as "... an excellent fielder."[8] Referring to her captaincy, The Cricketer has described her as "level-headed".[18]

Off the field

Aside from cricket, Bryce's passion in life is music.[10] In 2020, she told Women's CricZone:

"I probably haven't played as much music as I'd want to in the last few years being away at uni, but I definitely enjoyed doing both growing up through school - playing in the orchestra and things like that. It's great to have something quite different and away from cricket, but I still enjoy playing when I’m back home."[10]
