Ireland takes over the PSL

Two Irish players are currently playing T20 cricket in Pakistan, Josh Little and Curtis Campher. Their bowling coach, Cath Dalton, is a former Ireland international herself. Another coach with Irish links, Ian Butler, is working with Islamabad United.

Given his work with the Northern Cricket Union, coaching players on the Irish development pathway, and the amount of commentary on how Ireland manages to develop young players, we spoke to Ian Butler on this episode of the Irish Cricket Podcast. Is the country any good at bringing young players through? How are we working past the financial and facility issues?
