Jane Maguire was the notable absence from Ireland's 15-strong squad announced on Wednesday for next month's T20 World Cup in England. The 23-year-old seamer sustained an injury two weeks ago and would not have been fit enough to feature in Group matches against England, Scotland, the West Indies, Sri Lanka and New Zealand. Maguire, who plays her club cricket for The Hills, has been one of Ireland's most consistent performers in the past couple of years and skipper Gaby Lewis admitted she will be a big loss.
“I want to leave before [40]. Maybe 35 or 36,” Prates said on “The Ariel Helwani Show.” “I have almost 140 fights. When I wake up and get out of my bed, I cannot walk well. I need to wait 20 minutes for my back to stop [hurting], my feet. Everyday. Both my feet, my back and neck are also bad... Let's see how many zeros they're gonna put on my bank account.”
