Ireland are bolstered by returns of notable players to the side, adding experience and depth as they vie for a spot at the upcoming 2025 Women's Cricket World Cup in India.
Speaking on the squad, Ireland Women's Head Coach, Ed Joyce said, 'This tournament will be a great challenge for testing the depth of the senior squad, while we manage a number of player injuries that have been sustained over the last several months. Given the volume of matches and upcoming tournaments, there is a need to develop a wider talent pool of players ready to step up and cope with the demands of international cricket.
"Finger-spinner Kia McCartney is coming in for her first senior tour, and leg-spinner Cara Murray will also be returning - both these players will play a key role in a country where spin bowling will be important. Additionally, Sophie MacMahon and Louise Little will also return after missing out on recent squads, and Amy Hunter returns from injury providing a great boost to our batting strength."
