Ireland’s premier batter, Lewis was recently named Ireland captain. She made her debut at just 13 years old and in the 10 years since, she has evolved from a legspinner and lower order batter to one of the most dangerous opening batters in the game when she’s on song.

Ireland’s premier batter, Lewis was recently named Ireland captain. She made her debut at just 13 years old and over the next decade evolved from a leg-spinner and lower order batter to one of the most dangerous opening batters in the game when she’s on song.

Gaby is a player in demand, having played in English county cricket and various franchise leagues such as The Hundred and Fairbreak Global. She’s kept busy with cricket but also recently graduated from University College Dublin with a degree in Radiography. Lewis comes from a well-known cricketing family – her father, Alan, captained Ireland and won 121 caps, and her sister, Robyn, has also been capped, last playing for her country in 2017.

Gaby was practically raised in YMCA Cricket Club in Dublin surrounded by top level players who, no doubt, added to her game. There’s nothing in the game that Lewis won’t have set her sights on, including playing in a World Cup Final.

Her role model is the former international batter Clare Shillington, and Gaby takes after her with a powerful game and shots all around the ground.
