suspended in February<\/a> after the sport’s authorities ruled her bowling action to be illegal in Ireland’s one-day international against India in Rajkot on 10 January.<\/p>\nMaguire then had a bowling assessment at the ICC-accredited testing centre at Loughborough, England, on 21 January.<\/p>\n
The ICC said the bowling assessment found the “amount of elbow extension in her bowling action exceeds the 15-degree level of tolerance permitted” and imposed a suspension.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday the ICC said that “following remedial work and re-assessment” Maguire’s bowling action was “found to be legal”, allowing her to resume her international career.<\/p>\n
“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,” it added.<\/p>\n
The teenager made her international debut in 2023 and has 20 caps for Ireland, taking 25 wickets across formats.<\/p>\n
Ireland captain Gaby Lewis said she has “no doubt” Maguire will “pick up where she left off” when she is reintegrated into the squad.<\/p>\n
“It’s a huge relief for her and management, they worked so hard over the last seven or eight months to work on her action and the mental side of things,” said Lewis. <\/p>\n
“It was a big hit and knock on her confidence, but she has worked so hard and is in a great place now and just needs some games behind her.”<\/p>\n
Maguire is not in the squad for Ireland’s three-match T20 series against Pakistan, which begins in Dublin on Wednesday (16:00 BST). <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ireland spinner Aimee Maguire has been cleared to resume bowling in international cricket.
