Ross is a former professional rugby player who has one Ulster cap and 47 Jersey caps to his name. He is an ultra-aggressive opening batter that loves his cricket and enjoys laugh and a smile during the game. Announced himself on the international scene when he scored a blistering century against South Africa in Ireland’s first win over the Proteas in T20 cricket recently.

A player who comes out with the obvious intent to clear the ropes, Ross’ proudest moments in an Ireland shirt to date are taking to the field alongside his brother, Mark, and scoring his first T20I century.

Having made the move to cricket after an injury forced him out of professional rugby, Ross debuted for the Northern Knights in late 2020. His power is eye-catching, and his strike rate of above 150 for the Knights is more eye-catching still.
