Craig Young
Shirt Number: 44
A new-ball bowler who swings the ball prodigiously, Craig has been a great servant (often) with the new ball for Ireland for over a decade. While he has had a few injuries to deal with, he always battles back and Ireland are a stronger team when he is on the field.

A new-ball bowler who swings the ball prodigiously, Craig has been a great servant (often) with the new ball for Ireland for over a decade. While he has had a few injuries to deal with, he always battles back and Ireland are a stronger team when he is on the field.
While he may be called fast-medium pace, Craig bowls a heavy ball and has the knack of taking important wickets. Contracted to Sussex for a time, he took five wickets on Ireland debut against Scotland.
