The swashbuckling batsman made his debut for Ireland against the Scotland team in 2006 and was run out on 99 in his first game-the only player in the history of the game to have been. He played his first world cup in 2007 for the Ireland side but was disappointing in his performances scoring just 91 runs in 9 matches. Then came the pivotal moment of his career when he signed for Middlesex to play white-ball cricket for them.
His performances generated keen interest in the England setup and were called into the side for the 2009 T20 world cup- which they won. He was then called mid-way in the 2011 world cup and became the fourth player to have played the world cup for two countries. His constant performances along with his attitude resulted in him becoming a key figure for the team and became the captain of the side in 2015 and since led this side to a world cup win in 2019 and broke several one-day records along the way with his aggressive, hard-hitting, fearsome approach, enviable depth and always attacking side.
