Ireland all-rounder Sophie MacMahon has announced her international retirement.

MacMahon, 28, made 45 appearances for her country and was one of seven who received Ireland’s first full-time playing contracts for female players in 2019.

She made her debut that same year against England, with her final appearance coming against Zimbabwe in July.

MacMahon will also step away from domestic representative cricket in the Evoke Super Series, but will continue playing club cricket for Leinster.

“It is a tough decision to decide to retire but I feel like the time is right for me. I have given so much of my life to cricket and representing my country in the sport I love will be something I’ll always treasure,” said the Dubliner.

“My dream as a child was to be a professional cricketer and I never believed that dream would come true, so I feel very fortunate.

“I’m extremely thankful to all the staff and coaches at Cricket Ireland for their support over the years, especially the support staff I worked with in the women’s programme. I would also like to thank my family for their support and encouragement throughout my cricket journey.”
