Domestic career[]

Bouchier made her county debut for Middlesex in 2014, against Warwickshire. The 3/24 she took on her debut remains her List A best bowling.[3] She became a regular in the side from 2016, and had her most successful season for Middlesex in 2018: she was their leading run-scorer in the Championship, with 172 runs at 34.40, and was ever-present as her side won the Twenty20 Cup.[4][5] She also hit her List A high score in the Championship, scoring 76 against Somerset.[6]

In 2019, Bouchier moved to Hampshire. She had a successful first season with the club, hitting two half-centuries and ending the season as the side's highest run-scorer in the Twenty20 Cup.[7][8]

Bouchier spent one season, 2017/18, playing for Auckland. She was most successful in the Hallyburton Johnstone Shield, scoring 273 runs at an average of 45.50 with two half-centuries.[9] Her side also won the competition.[10]

Bouchier also played for Southern Vipers in the Women's Cricket Super League in 2018 and 2019. She played all 11 matches for the side in 2019, helping them reach Finals Day and hitting 114 runs overall, with a best of 40 against Lancashire Thunder.[11][12]

Bouchier continued playing for Southern Vipers in the 2020 Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy. She appeared in all 7 matches, including her side's 38-run victory in the Final over Northern Diamonds. She scored 183 runs at an average of 30.50, as well as taking 1 wicket, the key dismissal of Lauren Winfield-Hill in the Final.[13][14][15] She scored one half-century, 50* in a victory over Western Storm.[16] She has also signed to play for Southern Brave in The Hundred.[17]

In October 2020, it was announced that Bouchier had been suspended from bowling due to an illegal elbow extension in her action, and would have to undergo remedial work.[15] She was cleared to resume bowling in competitive cricket in July 2021.[18]
