Lorcan Tucker

Lorcan is a batter with an aggressive approach and a safe gloveman who has recently taken on the captaincy of the T20 team. Despite debuting in 2016, he has well-and-truly begun to showcase his talent on the world stage in recent years with a Test century and eye-catching performances in all three formats. He has always been marked out as a leader, and won his first series in charge when Ireland toppled India twice in the space of three days in July 2026.

He had a breakthrough tournament in the 2022 T20 World Cup when he made 204 runs to finish ninth highest run-scorer – his 71* off 48 balls against Australia effectively ended the home side’s chances of making the semi-finals.

Lorcan’s best innings with the bat was arguably his battling century in the Test match against Bangladesh in April 2023.
