Women’s T20 WC: Injury Rules Laura Delany Out As Ireland Add Teenager Alice Tector
T20 World Cup: Ireland have suffered a setback ahead of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup as experienced all-rounder Laura Delany has been ruled out of the tournament due to injury, with 18-year-old Alice Tector drafted into the squad as Delany’s replacement for both the World Cup and the upcoming tri-series involving the West Indies and Pakistan.
Tector, who made her international debut in 2024, comes from a well-known cricketing family and is the younger sister of Ireland internationals Harry Tector and Tim Tector. Cricket Ireland’s Director of High Performance, Graeme West, expressed disappointment over Delany’s absence while backing Tector to seize the opportunity.
“We are all devastated for Laura – she’s one of the toughest competitors that has ever played for Ireland Women, and we wish her well with her recovery. Alice herself has had to deal with injuries over the last 12 months, but has shown a great temperament since returning to play in 2026,” West said.
