World Cup Qualifier: Ireland Women’s head coach Ed Joyce has decided to step down from the role at the end of his current contract, the country's cricket board said.

The former England and Ireland batter Joyce will finish his coaching tenure following the upcoming ICC Women's World Cup Qualifier.

“It has been a privilege to lead Cricket Ireland’s women’s performance programme and to work with this group of dedicated cricketers and support staff. The last six years have been an incredible journey – not just for me personally, but for the players, coaches and, indeed, the entire performance programme.
