Born in Ayr and educated at Prestwick Academy,[1] Tennant first appeared for Scotland on a 1993–94 tour of Zimbabwe, having previously appeared regularly for a Scotland B team.[2] A left-arm orthodox spinner, he played two matches at List-A level, and a further three at first-class level.[3] His two List A matches came during the 1996 English season: one against Yorkshire in the Benson & Hedges Cup, in which he took 2/29 from ten overs, and the other against Durham in the NatWest Trophy, in which he went wicketless.[4] Tennant's matches at first-class level all came in the annual series against Ireland, in which he participated in 1996, 1999, and 2000.[5] He took nine wickets in these matches – his best figures, 3/28, came in the 1996 fixture, and included two stumpings by Alec Davies.[6] At club level, Tennant played for the Prestwick Cricket Club, which from 1999 played in the new Scottish National Cricket League (SNCL).[2]
Tennant was appointed Cricket Scotland's youth development manager in May 2004,[7] and served in the position until 2006, when he was replaced by Peter Steindl.[8] After Scotland's senior coach, Peter Drinnen, resigned in July 2007, he and Steindl took over the team on an interim basis, coaching the side at the 2007 World Twenty20.[9][10] Steindl was permanently appointed to the position in December 2007,[11] while Tennant was named to the position of head of cricket, and also named coach of Scotland A.[12] He had previously become the first Scottish coach to gain a Level 4 coaching qualification from the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB).[13] In April 2014, as part of a reorganisation of Cricket Scotland that saw Grant Bradburn appointed head coach, Tennant was named director of cricket, in charge of "all strategic and operational cricketing matters".[14][15]
In September 2022, he was appointed head coach of Sunrisers.[16]
