About the squad, in Kevin O'Brien they have a hard-hitting batsman who has scored the fastest ODI World Cup century.
George Dockrell once dismissed Sachin Tendulkar with his left-arm spin, while Trent Johnston's funky chicken goes viral, whenever he bags a wicket. They need to do more, to be more than just trivia.
Strength: Kevin O'Brien is a good all-rounder in Irish squad while English player Ed Joyce also a plus point.
