Glen Frederick Barrett (born 31 March 1979) is a former Zimbabwean cricketer who represented several teams in Zimbabwean domestic cricket. He played predominantly as a middle-order batsman.
Barrett was born in Salisbury (now known as Harare), and attended Falcon College, St. George's College, and St. John's College at various stages. His father played for the national rugby union team.[1] Barrett represented the Zimbabwe under-19s at the 1998 Under-19 World Cup in South Africa, playing in all six of his team's matches.[2] He scored 147 runs in total (behind only Mark Vermeulen and Dion Ebrahim for Zimbabwe), with his highest score being 67 from 32 balls in an upset win against the West Indies. He was less successful as a bowler, taking just one wicket from 27 overes.[3]
After studying at the University of Cape Town in South Africa for three years, Barrett returned to Zimbabwe in 2002 and made his first-class debut, playing for CFX Academy in the 2001–02 Logan Cup.[4] On debut against Manicaland, he came in eighth in the batting order and scored 106 runs from 57 balls, which including eleven fours and seven sixes. He also made 80 from 63 balls in the second innings, adding another six sixes as his team won by 149 runs.[5] Barrett never re-captured the form of his debut, but maintained a strike rate of 140.09 from his four-match first-class career.[6] He made limited-overs appearances for Manicaland and Mashonaland (during the 2002–03 and 2003–04 seasons, respectively), but made only 78 runs from six matches.[7]
