Gaby Lewis is an Irish all-rounder who has plenty of international experience. Lewis has been impressive in recent times as she has been a consistent performer for the Irish side in the shortest format.

The right-handed opening batter has played 42 T20Is so far and has smashed 786 runs. This includes four half-centuries. Lewis bowls occasional leg-spin as well.
