Ava Canning is a young Irish cricketer (born Feb 2, 2004) and right-arm medium-pace bowler for the Ireland Women's National Team, known for her effective in-swinging yorker, debuting in 2021, and representing domestic teams like the Typhoons and Leinster CC. A promising all-rounder, she holds a Cricket Ireland contract, earned her WODI debut in 2023, and quickly became a regular, showing potential with both bat and ball, even opening the bowling at a young age after recovering from a significant injury.
