Alice Capsey keeps wicket during England win against Ireland

Alice Capsey moved behind the stumps for England in the first one-day international against Ireland in Leicester on Tuesday. England finished the match with a six-wicket victory after successfully chasing a target of 282. Capsey contributed to the win with an unbeaten 41 off 40 balls after performing wicketkeeping duties for the full 50 overs of the Ireland innings. She claimed a one-handed catch to dismiss Alice Tector and conceded four byes during her time in the field. The selection decision prompted discussion regarding her suitability for the role, as she has limited experience in the position and is a key batter for the side. England continues the three-match series with the second ODI scheduled for Thursday in Derby.
