The 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.” Some new faces are included on the trip, including Coleraine finger-spinner Kia McCartney on her first senior tour, with leg-spinner Cara Murray returning. Sophie MacMahon and Louise Little will also return after missing out on recent squads, and batter Amy Hunter returns from injury.
