Perrin was born in Wolverhampton, West Midlands.[1] Her father, David, played minor county cricket for Staffordshire; her own cricket club is Fordhouses in Wolverhampton.[3] In 2024, she graduated with a sport BTEC for which she had studied at Edgbaston.[3]
Domestic career
Perrin made her county debut in 2021, for Staffordshire against Worcestershire.[4] In the 2022 Women's Twenty20 Cup, she was the fourth-highest run-scorer across the entire competition, with 242 runs at an average of 34.57.[5] She made 87 from 75 deliveries in Staffordshire's victory over Berkshire.[6]
Perrin was selected for the Central Sparks Academy in 2021, and scored a century during an intra-squad multi-day game in September.[7][8] Later that month, Perrin was added to the full Central Sparks squad, and made her debut for the side on 10 September, in a Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy match against Sunrisers.[9] She played four matches overall for the side that season, scoring 92 runs including a best of 43 made against South East Stars.[10][11]
At the end of the 2022 season, it was announced that Perrin had signed her first professional contract with Central Sparks.[17] By entering into that contract, she became only the third Black female professional cricketer in the UK;[3] "When I step on to that pitch, I'm representing girls of ethnic minorities who are underrepresented across the game, particularly the professional game," she later told The Guardian.[3] She has also been involved with Ebony Rainford-Brent's ACE (African Caribbean Engagement) programme.[3]
