Former Irish international, and current Talent Pathway Manager for Munster Cricket, Jeremy Bray has been inducted into the Cricket Writers’ of Ireland Irish Cricket Hall of Fame.
The presentation of a framed cap and photo was made by former teammate Andrew White at the Test Match at Stormont recently.
Originally hailing from Australia, the left-handed top-order batter was one of the most prolific run-scorers in Irish domestic and international cricket.
Bray scored 30 centuries in local cricket, but it was a hundred for Ireland that was the most memorable – his ton against Zimbabwe the first by an Irish player at the 2007 World Cup.
He achieved 83 caps for Ireland, scoring 2,812 runs – including 12 fifties and seven hundreds.
Since retiring, he’s continued within the sport in a coaching capacity in Ireland and beyond, and is currently Head Coach for the Munster Heat and the Provincial Talent Pathway Manager for Munster.
Bray said:
“It was a real honour and a privilege to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. While there are many great memories, the biggest highlight was being involved with such a great group of players and a brilliant coach in Adi Birrell throughout most of my playing career for Ireland.”
