Ireland name squad for ICC Women’s Emerging Nations Trophy

Ajman (UAE), Nov 6 (UNI) Gaby Lewis will captain Ireland in their debut at the ICC Women’s Emerging Nations Trophy, with Amy Hunter appointed vice-captain in the absence of Orla Prendergast, who will feature in the Women's Big Bash League in Australia.
Zara Craig and Abbi Harrison are the two players in line to make their international debuts at the tournament.
Twenty three-year-old Craig is a seam-bowling all-rounder who has progressed through Ireland's age-group pathway and was part of the 2023 Women's Under-19 T20 World Cup squad, according to ICC.

coming in 2021.
Kia McCartney, who has five ODI appearances, is another player looking to make her debut in the shortest format.
Ireland have been drawn in Group A alongside Papua New Guinea, Sri Lanka, Scotland and hosts UAE.
Ireland squad: Gaby Lewis (c), Zara Craig, Alana Dalzell, Laura Delany, Georgina Dempsey, Abbi Harrison, Amy Hunter, Louise Little, Aimee Maguire, Jane Maguire, Lara Maritz, Lara McBride, Kia McCartney, Cara Murray.
