The injury is a powerful blow for Ireland, particularly after the young seamer performed brilliantly in the team's opening fixture. She impressed against Scotland in Manchester, taking three wickets for 27 runs from her four-over spell. To replace her, Ireland have called up fellow pace bowler Jane Maguire, who brings valuable international experience to the squad. She has represented Ireland in 39 T20Is, taking 33 wickets overall. 

Meanwhile, Ireland, who began their T20I World Cup campaign with a defeat, will next face New Zealand in Southampton on Friday.
