[3] At the age of nine, she received a standard form letter from former Scotland international player Liz Smith, who was setting up the[clarification needed] girls' team; after signing up immediately, she went through her first-ever experience of organised cricket training.

Bryce had to miss that tournament, due to commitments with Loughborough Lightning in the English domestic Super League competition.
In September 2020, Bryce told Women's CricZone that in the last few years the Scotland team had been rebuilding after losing several senior players.
[78] Commenting on the two nominations, Bryce told Emerging Cricket: "You don't really expect it, and I think it just shows how consistent we've been over the last few years and that's paid off.
[3] Also in May 2021, Bryce led Scotland in the team's post-COVID-19 return to international competition, in a bilateral series against Ireland at Stormont in Belfast.
[85] Also in June 2021, she became the first cricketer for Scotland, male or female, to make it into the top ten of the ICC Player Rankings, when she reached 10th position among batters.
[88] Bryce's high point in the tournament was in her team's contest against Ireland, in which she was named Player of the Match after scoring 46* in 58 balls to help Scotland overcome 89 on a challenging dry and uneven pitch.
[98] At the end of that month, Bryce returned to the team and resumed the captaincy for the 2022 ICC Women's T20 World Cup Qualifier in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
[97] In her five innings in that tournament, she made the third highest number of runs, an aggregate of 153 including two half centuries, behind only Tanya Ruma of Papua New Guinea and Nigar Sultana of Bangladesh.

3 at domestic level who can manipulate the field and score heavily down the ground after getting set, and a new-ball bowler with the ability to swing the ball prodigiously into the right-handers.
She is a swing bowler rather than an out-and-out quick - to the extent that [her sister] Sarah stands up to the stumps while keeping to her, but manages to get the ball tailing late.
"[3]Cricket Scotland has observed that Bryce has quite often opened the bowling and batted at 3 for the national squad, and has also praised her as "... an excellent fielder.
