In June 2020, Ireland's fast-bowling all-rounder Kim Garth, who had played her first international match at 14, announced that she would be leaving the country for a two-year deal with domestic side Victoria, a move that many felt could get her into the Australian team in future.

On November 21, 2022, Kim got her maiden call-up to the Australia side for their five-match T20I tour of India starting from December 9, something which left her very excited and gave her parents, former Ireland cricketers Anne-Marie and Jonathan Garth, an immediate call at 3 am, making it a rare occasion where a very late night call would lead to good news.
