Women”s World T20 has been the talk for the town in social media. While India, Australia, Windies and England are dominating the opponents, the other teams are giving their best to alter the points table. Newzealand, Ireland and other teams gave their best in this tournament. However, they failed to make it to the semis due to their unstable line-up.
Yesterday”s match between Ireland and New Zealand turned out to be the last game for four Irish legends Cecelia Joyce, Isobel Joyce, Clare Shillington and Ciara Metcalfe. All four of them have represented the side since a long time and emotions ran high after the side lost to New Zealand in a low scoring game.

The white ferns gave a guard of honour for the legends as it happened to be a fitting farewell for the legend. All four of them gave their invaluable services to the team for a period of two decades. The video has been posted on the official ICC website and several legends of the game are all praise for them.

Irish women lost all four encounters and weren”t able to register a victory in the tournament. They have a lot of homework to do before their next series and it would be a herculean task for the side to find replacements for the legends.
Joyce sisters come from a cricketing family where their brother Ed Joyce represented both the English and the Irish sides. He announced his retirement from all formats of the game earlier this may.
