Carey made her debut for New South Wales shortly before her 18th birthday in the 2010-11 season, displaying remarkable maturity beyond her years by contributing a match-winning 36 not out. The talented allrounder patiently awaited her Australian debut, as her initial call-ups came during the 2012 and 2016 T20 World Cups, but injuries prevented her from making her first appearance at either event. The breakthrough moment finally arrived during the 2018 tour of India, where Carey earned her place in the Australian XI. She continued to be a consistent presence, participating in her third T20 World Cup in the Caribbean later that same year. In recent times, she has become a reliable member of the national team, playing pivotal roles in Australia’s victories at the 2020 T20 World Cup and the 2022 50-over World Cup. Currently, Carey has found her cricketing home in Tasmania and with the Hobart Hurricanes, a decision that led her to move away from New South Wales and the Sydney Thunder in 2019. Her contributions to Australian cricket have been significant, and her journey from a talented teenager to an essential player for the national team is a testament to her dedication and skill.
