Arlene Kelly, Ireland’s fiery all-rounder and New Zealand-born legend, is hanging up her boots after a stellar 100-match career, culminating in her final game this Sunday against England. With 135 wickets and over 600 runs to her name — placing her third on Ireland’s all-time list — Kelly’s impact was undeniable. From her debut in 2022, she became an indispensable force, both on and off the field, earning admiration for her grit, reliability, and personal sacrifices made while far from home. As she returns to New Zealand to be with family, she leaves behind a legacy of excellence and a team full of gratitude — captain Gaby Lewis hailed her as transformative. Her departure marks the end of an era, but her influence will echo through Irish cricket for years to come.
