Ireland left-arm spinner Aimee Maguire has been cleared to resume bowling in international cricket after being suspended from bowling earlier this year during the first ODI against India on January 10.
She has been cleared to resume bowling in international cricket with immediate effect, whose action was deemed suspect under the ICC’s illegal bowling regulations.
Maguire has made significant changes in her action and underwent re-assessment at an ICC-accredited testing centre, where she was cleared.
“An independent assessment of Maguire’s remodelled bowling action at an ICC accredited testing centre concluded that the amount of elbow extension was within the 15-degree level of tolerance permitted under the ICC Illegal Bowling Regulations,” an ICC release said.
Aimee Maguire made her ODI and T20I debut against West Indies in July 2023. She has played 11 ODIs so far, where she picked 16 wickets, with best bowling figures of 5/19 against England last year.
Maguire has also played nine T20Is where she has nine wickets at an economy rate of 7.20. However, she is not part of the T20I squad for Pakistan Women tour of Ireland which begun on August 06 at Dublin.
