Ireland Women Reveal Squad for T20Is vs Pakistan

Ireland Women have announced their 14-player squad for an upcoming three-match T20I series against Pakistan Women which will take place in Clontarf between August 6th and August 10th 2025.

Gaby Lewis will captain the 14-players squad with Orla Prendergast as vice-captain. Off-spin bowler Freya Sargent returns to the squad after recovering from injury, and fellow off-spinner Lara McBride holds onto her spot after impressing during her debut series against Zimbabwe.

Ireland arrive in high spirits after a commanding 5-0 white ball series victory over Zimbabwe women, providing an encouraging start for new Head Coach Lloyd Tennant. Ireland Women will be keen to keep momentum moving in a positive direction with the upcoming ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifiers fast approaching at the end of August.

Speaking about the upcoming series Ciara O’Brien, National Women’s selector, said: “it’s great to be able to move so quickly into what will understandably be a much tougher assignment against Pakistan Women in Clontarf for this T20I series.”

O’Brien continued: “With the upcoming matches, our preparation continues for the ICC Women’s T20I World Cup Europe Qualifier in the Netherlands in a few weeks, so we’re looking to see this latest momentum continued by the squad at Clontarf.”

Head-to-Head:

Ireland Women and Pakistan Women have met in 19 T20Is so far with Pakistan coming out on top in 15 of these encounters. However, the most recent series contested between the sides saw Ireland claim a 2-1 victory.
