Ireland’s master blaster has also recently been appointed white-ball captain. Paul only plays one way and that’s at full tilt. A mainstay in the team since his debut in 2008 as a 17-year-old, he aims to play the game in a way that fulfills a team role and entertains the spectators.

'Stirlo' learned his craft playing for Middlesex before committing full-time to Ireland. Having also featured in franchise cricket around the world, Stirling is Ireland’s most experienced cricketer. His style is eye-catching and he is a batsman that every opposition is wary of. Paul's biggest moment of pride is around Ireland’s progression from Intercontinental-Cup cricket to Test cricket.

With 16 centuries across the three formats, he is arguably Ireland’s leader with the bat in hand. He aims to play at the highest level for as long as possible.
