YMCA batter Gaby Lewis has been named in the ICC T20I Team of the Year after a superb year for the Girls in Green.

The 20-year-old Ireland international became the first Ireland Women’s player to score a century in international cricket, with her knock of 105* against Germany on the opening day of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier.

In all, Lewis amassed 325 runs in the year at an excellent average of 40.62.

Gaby has also been shortlisted for two individual ICC awards which will be announced later this week.

"It's very humbling to be recognized alongside some of the world's best players in the T20 format," said Lewis.

"While it is pleasing personally, international cricket is a team game and we have a great squad in the Irish set-up - the players I play alongside deserve as much credit for their commitment and performance over the last year.

"This has been a big year for Irish women's cricket, not only were there three series wins - home and away - but we have qualified for the first time for the ICC Women's Championship. We're all looking forward to 2022, which will hopefully be a new chapter in our sport."
