Career[edit]

She compiled her first WT20I half-century against Guernsey in the third match of the 2023 Inter-Insular Cup at King George V Sports Ground in Castel. Opening the batting, Aikenhead hit seven boundaries in a score of 57 not out off 53 balls as Jersey sealed a 3–0 series victory.[6][7][8][9]
