Ireland have named Gaby Lewis as the new permanent captain of the Women’s team. She will replace Laura Delany, who led the team 125 times between 2016 and 2024.
Lewis, 23, has led the team in recent times, notably finding success in Delany’s absence during the Sri Lanka and England series during the summer.
“Laura Delany is an icon of Irish cricket having led the national team with distinction for over eight years during a time of great change and challenge,” Ciara O’Brien, Ireland Women’s team selector, said.
“She has been an exceptional leader guiding the team through significant milestones in the evolution of our sport. Her contributions as captain cannot be understated.”
