International
Ireland Men
Andrew Balbirnie
Shirt Number: 63
Ireland’s red-ball captain (and former white-ball captain) is one of only three players to score a double century for Ireland (along with Ed Joyce and Eoin Morgan). A classical batsman that is pleasing on the eye, Balbirnie's leadership has long been clear to see on the field as he continues to bat in the top order for Ireland in all formats.

debut match
Ireland v Scotland, Voorburg 2010
Ireland’s red-ball captain (and former white-ball captain) is one of only three players to score a double century for Ireland (along with Ed Joyce and Eoin Morgan). A classical batsman that is pleasing on the eye, Balbirnie’s leadership has long been clear to see on the field as he continues to bat in the top order for Ireland in all formats.
Currently the fourth-highest runscorer in history for Ireland Men, he came of age against the Netherlands in the 2017 Intercontinental-Cup match when he scored 205* and 50 and has been ever-present since.
Balbirnie is behind only William Porterfield in captaining Ireland Men the most times.
