The Event Technical Committee of the  Women’s T20 World Cup  has approved Jane Maguire as a replacement for Ava Canning in the Ireland squad.

Maguire was named as a replacement when Canning was ruled out due to a stress fracture in her back.

Canning was sent for a precautionary scan yesterday after she raised concerns over her back after the match against Scotland last Saturday. Unfortunately for the Leinster all-rounder, the scan has revealed a stress fracture in her back and she will fly home to begin recovery and rehabilitation immediately

23-year old Jane Maguire from The Hills Cricket Club. Maguire – whose sister Aimee is also part of the squad – was unlucky to miss out on the squad originally after recovering from a knee injury sustained during the summer.

Maguire will join up with the squad tomorrow.
