Dubai, Aug 1 (Ians) Australia’s dominant 2-0 Odi series triumph over Ireland in Dublin has seen a majority of their players make big moves in the latest update to the Icc Women’s Player Rankings.
Australia’s off-spin all-rounder Ashleigh Gardner, who also won the Icc Women’s Player of the Month for June 2023, reached career-best ranking in all three lists starting with jumping five slots from 21st to 16th and 579 rating points in the batters list after a quick-fire 65 from 39 deliveries in the second match.
She has also moved one place to a personal best fourth place in the bowlers rankings, with 673 points after taking three wickets for 38 runs in the third game. Her efforts also meant Ashleigh got her best ranking of number two and 389 points (from fourth place) in the all-rounders list, that continues to be topped by England’s Natalie Sciver-Brunt, who also continues her stronghold over the top batting position.

Dublin, July 17 (Ians) Ireland have announced a 14-player squad for the upcoming three-game women’s Odi series against reigning World Cup winners Australia, set to take place at Clontarf Cricket Club from July 23-28.
This will be Ireland’s next international assignment after they returned winless from the white-ball tour of the West Indies. “It’s a hugely exciting summer of international cricket -– we’ve just returned from a tour to the Caribbean, and now have a home series against Australia and then the Netherlands away.”
“We were disappointed not to get at least one win against the West Indies, but we had our moments. Moments, though, aren’t enough to beat the best sides, we’ll need to be switched on from ball one against Australia and put complete performances together –- with bat, ball and in the field,” said Ireland wicketkeeper-batter Amy Hunter in a release.
