Cricket Ireland have named their 15-man squad for the upcoming ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, to be held in the West Indies and USA.
Paul Stirling to lead Ireland in T20 World Cup 2024
Veteran opener Paul Stirling will lead the Irish contingent as they look to make a mark in the marquee tournament.
The squad boasts a blend of experience and youthful exuberance. Stirling, a proven performer in the shortest format, will bring stability at the top of the order. He’ll be ably supported by established names like Andrew Balbirnie, a dependable batsman, and George Dockrell, a wily spin bowler.
Exciting young talents like Harry Tector, a hard-hitting batsman, and fast bowler Craig Young have also earned their call-ups. Their energy and fearless approach could be crucial for Ireland’s success.
Ireland have been placed in Group A alongside powerhouses like India and Pakistan. However, the team is known for its fighting spirit and ability to pull off upsets. With a determined leader in Stirling and a well-rounded squad, Ireland will be hoping to cause some surprises in the tournament.
