Domestic career[]

Norris made her county debut in 2014, for Sussex against Warwickshire. She did not bat or bowl.[3] A year later, she was part of the Sussex squad that won the 2015 Women's Twenty20 Cup.[4] In the 2018 Women's County Championship, Norris had a strong season, taking 10 wickets at an average of 10.30 as her side was promoted from Division 2.[5] In 2019, Norris again had a successful county season, being Sussex's second-leading wicket-taker in both competitions, and hitting her maiden county half-century, scoring 59* opening the batting in a T20 victory over Warwickshire.[6][7][8]

In 2017, Norris also played for Southern Vipers in the Women's Cricket Super League. She played one match, bowling three overs and dismissing Jenny Gunn for her maiden KSL wicket.[9] Ahead of the 2018 season, she moved to Loughborough Lightning, but did not play for them until 2019. Across her three appearances, she bowled three overs for no wicket.[10]

In 2020, Norris returned to Southern Vipers for the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy. She appeared in all 7 matches, including her side's 38-run victory in the Final over Northern Diamonds. She took 12 wickets at an average of 17.91, including taking her List A best bowling of 4/45 in a match against Western Storm.[11][12] She was the joint-third leading wicket-taker across the whole tournament.[13] She has also signed to play for Southern Brave in The Hundred.[14]

Norris has also appeared for various England Development and Academy teams, including touring South Africa in 2018.[15]
