Ireland wicketkeeper Shauna Kavanagh will miss the T20 World Cup European Qualifier in Spain after testing positive for Covid-19.
Fifteen-year-old Belfast schoolgirl Amy Hunter has been called up to the squad as Kavanagh's replacement.
Hunter made her Ireland debut against Scotland back in May.
Ireland begin their campaign in La Manga on Thursday with two games against Germany and Turkey, with the tournament continuing until 30 August.
Ireland face Scotland on Friday before further games against France and the Netherlands on Sunday and Monday.
Only the winning team in the six-nation competition will progress to next year's eight-team final Qualifier - with two sides from that event making it to the competition proper in South Africa in 2023.
