From 2017 to 2019, Carr played in the Women's Twenty20 Cup for Middlesex, and was part of their side that won the tournament in 2018.[9] In February 2020, it was announced that Carr was joining Middlesex from Devon in both formats.[1] She scored 45 runs in four matches for the side in the 2021 Women's Twenty20 Cup.[10]
