Aimee Maguire
Shirt number: 9
The younger sister of Ireland's opening bowler Jane, Aimee is an exciting prospect for the future - her left arm spin coming on leaps and bounds in the short time since she moved to slow bowling from seam. Took career best figures of 5-19 against England in Ireland's first win against their closest neighbours since 2002.

The younger sister of Ireland’s opening bowler Jane, Aimee is an exciting prospect for the future – her left arm spin coming on leaps and bounds in the short time since she moved to slow bowling from seam. Took career best figures of 5-19 against England in Ireland’s first win against their closest neighbours since 2002.
Aimee has had a ball in her hand almost since she started to walk. A promising left-arm in-swing bowler, she was persuaded to change to spin due to the value placed on that skill in the world game. An excellent fielder and promising batter, Aimee has a bright future ahead of her.
After impressing at the ICC U19 Women’s T20 World Cup in early 2023, Aimee was brought up to the senior training squad.
