Also why have they stopped updating the @IrishWomensCric account? A lot of hard work went in over the years to grow it to 32k followers. Genuine followers too, not like 95% of followers of the main account. Last post was ironically how we qualified for this WC back in January!
We play England tomorrow in a World Cup. Live on Sky Sports. And this is the extent of the ‘build up’. Two words and an emoji. While this is the norm, it’s still extremely frustrating. Players deserve better. (The link isn’t even about tomorrow’s game).

Both governments north and south, should stop the Taliban bringing a cricket team to our shores later this summer. The fact they were invited is a disgrace and every sports fan should be calling for it to be cancelled. @sinnfeinireland @MaryLouMcDonald @moneillsf
Afghanistan rarely generates headlines these days as international focus remains on war in the Middle East, but the crisis in the country of 45 million people remains profound, writes Yvonne Murray rte.ie/news/analysis-and-com…

It’s World Cup day. Very exciting. A rare opportunity to watch our Women’s players on live TV. Game starts at 10.30 on Sky Sports. #backinggreen #t20worldcup #irevsco

Best of luck to the Irish Women’s squad and support staff over the next few weeks. Great lead in to the tournament. Excited for big performances and the odd shock here and there.

A 72 year old man was savaged stabbed to death in his home in Dungannon last year.
There was no rampaging gangs "protecting their communities".
Guess why?
Because the victim was polish and the murderer was a "local" man.
These aren't concerned citizens they're racists.

Last week, the Taliban made it legal to sell 9 year old girls off as sex slaves.
Zohran Mamdani? Silent.
AOC? Silent.
Ilhan Omar? Silent.
Rashida Tlaib? Silent.
Chris Van Hollen? Silent.
Chris Murphy? Silent.

Ireland should refuse to play Israel. You don’t share a pitch with a genocidal state and call it sport. Forfeit the 6 points. Rally the world. Embarrass UEFA.

"I think cancelling this fixture, boycotting this fixture...I think it would be an act of respect to the players.
The most powerful politicians in this country give statements, they're ineffective and useless. This would be an act.
Action of some kind is surely required."

🧵Having a big bash player playing in the Women’s Div2 causes a major issue, but it’s about how other players get treated differently in the same league. Every season, several players get forced to move up to a higher level by CL because they are ‘too good’ for Div2
TERENURE WOMEN IN KILDARE!
Phenomenal (likely record-breaking score & partnership)!
@TerenureCC Women vs @nkcricket Women in @edsports2000 Division 2!
320/0 off 20 overs (Sarah Prendergast 147*, Sophie Reid 143*)!🏏👏

A recent example. Laura Delany is sadly injured and out for a good while so comes out of the starrings. So some poor kid has to now move up to Div1 for the rest of the season. There’s a much higher chance of her quitting the sport. All because someone got injured 🤯🤬

Simple rules can easily replace the starring system. It doesn’t need to be complicated. Irish/Super Series players=Div 1. Irish rep=Div2 and above. A few other rules on top of that and you’ve got a better system already.

I hate this narrative. Shaming people who feel that the killing of tens of thousands of innocent children doesn't warrant a protest. The very least that should happen is a very large protest. And the support of the Irish players has nothing to do with it

Heimir Hallgrímsson has urged the public to support his Republic of Ireland players rather than protest against the Uefa Nations League games with Israel later this year. jrnl.ie/7053153

...from access-reliant journalists and agents who moonlight as pundits up through national administrators that co-own leagues or franchises all the way up to the ICC CEC and Board. If everybody is conflicted, does it even matter anymore? Certainly nobody seems to care.
