Jemma Louise Barsby (born 4 October 1995) is an Australian cricketer who plays for South Australia and Adelaide Strikers. She has previously played for Queensland, Brisbane Heat and Perth Scorchers.[1]
An all-rounder who can bowl with both hands, Barsby is the daughter of former Queensland Bulls opening batsman and coach Trevor Barsby. She developed her ambidextrous off spin bowling skills as a child in her backyard, with assistance from her brother and encouragement from her father, and also has a penchant for switch hitting while batting.[2] [3] [4] In October 2010, Barsby made her debut for Queensland Fire, after touring with the Shooting Stars squad.[2] She has been a member of the Brisbane Heat squad since its inaugural WBBL01 season (2015–16).[5] As she was preparing for that inaugural season, she started experiencing shoulder pain and later numbness in her fingers; after testing, she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.[6] [7]
Barsby and her Brisbane Heat teammates have since participated in charity events for MS Queensland., her MS symptoms were still mild; she was on daily medication, and was also using an ice vest on really hot days.[4]
In November 2018, she was named in Brisbane Heat's squad for the 2018–19 Women's Big Bash League season.[8] [9] In October 2019, she signed with Perth Scorchers and in six games, averaged 21.25 with the bat and 37.00 with the ball.
