CRAIG YOUNG

A skilful swing bowler renowned for exploiting helpful conditions, Young has consistently been one of Ireland's most dependable white-ball performers. One of his standout T20 performances came during the 2024 Netherlands Tri-Series, where he returned figures of 3/31 against Scotland, underlining his ability to strike with the new ball while maintaining relentless discipline. Young represented Ireland at the 2010 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup, and finished as the team's leading wicket-taker with nine wickets. He also spent three seasons with Sussex before returning to Ireland after injuries curtailed his county career. He made his first-class debut for Ireland in 2013 and earned a central contract with Cricket Ireland in 2014. Comfortable bowling at both ends of an innings, Young's skill set is particularly well suited to European conditions and adds another layer of control to Dublin's pace attack.
