A bustling cricketer that announced himself onto the world stage with an incredible in-swinging delivery to dismiss Ben Stokes at the 2022 T20 World Cup, Fionn can also be utilised as a hitter down the order.
Fionn is a cricketer that enjoys the battle between bowler and batter. Having debuted for Leinster Lightning in 2018, he worked his way into the Ireland team four years later.
Initially considered as a white-ball specialist, Fionn went on to play his first Test match in 2023 when he was included in the team that took on England at Lord’s.
