A host of players from Ireland make good ground in the updated T20I rankings, courtesy of some good performances in Rotterdam.
Ireland captain Gaby Lewis has been rewarded for her recent consistency by reaching a new career-best rating in the latest ICC Women's T20I Player Rankings.
Lewis reached a new career-high rating of 625 points after her innings of 66* against the Netherlands at the ongoing ICC Women's T20 World Cup Europe Division 1 Qualifier in Rotterdam. The 24-year-old maintains her spot in 15th place in the latest T20I Batting Rankings, currently with a rating of 620.

Ireland defeated Germany by ten wickets in the second Europe Qualifier Division 1 for the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026.
Australia's Beth Mooney maintains her place as the No.1 ranked player on the list for T20I batters, though Lewis is within touch of the top 10 and could reach the upper echelons with some good showing during the remainder of the European Qualifier event.
Ireland are unbeaten at the tournament and have already booked their place at next year's Global Qualifier, where they will be aiming to be one of four teams to win a place at the 2026 ICC Women's T20 World Cup in England and Wales.
