T20 World Cup Global Qualifier: Gaby Lewis will captain Ireland in the upcoming ICC Women’s T20 World Cup in England, set to happen from June 12 to July 5. But Gaby will miss the preceding tri‑series against Pakistan and West Indies in Clontarf as she continues her recovery from a leg injury.
Cricket Ireland also said Orla Prendergast, ranked seventh among women’s T20I all‑rounders, will lead the side in the tri‑series before resuming her role as vice‑captain at the T20 World Cup. Gaby finished as the top run-getter in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Global Qualifier by amassing 276 runs in seven matches and it will be the first time she will captain Ireland in the T20 World Cup.
Ireland, currently ninth in the ICC women’ T20I rankings, have been drawn in Group 2 alongside England, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, West Indies, and Scotland. Group 1 features Australia, South Africa, India, Pakistan, the Netherlands and Bangladesh. The top two teams from each group will qualify for the semi‑finals.
