Ireland Spinner Maguire Cleared to Resume Bowling Internationally

Ireland's young left-arm spinner Aimee Maguire has been officially cleared by the International Cricket Council (ICC) to resume bowling in international cricket after successfully remodeling her bowling action. Maguire was initially suspended following a report of a suspect bowling action during the first ODI against India in January 2025, where her elbow extension exceeded the ICC's permissible 15-degree tolerance. After undergoing extensive remedial work and biomechanical reassessment at an ICC-accredited testing center, the assessment confirmed her revised action is now legal under ICC regulations. Ireland captain Gaby Lewis expressed relief and confidence in Maguire's return, noting the mental and technical challenges she overcame and anticipating her impact in upcoming series. The timing of her clearance is viewed as a boost for Ireland, adding depth to their spin bowling options ahead of important fixtures. Maguire, who has been an important part of Ireland's bowling attack since her international debut in 2023, is expected to soon regain her place in the team and continue contributing effectively.
