Andy McBrine

Andy McBrine is a left arm spinner and right handed batter who has become one of Ireland’s most dependable all round cricketers across formats. Born on 20 January 1993 in Derry, he came through the Irish domestic structure and established himself through consistent performances with ball in hand, especially in longer spells where control and patience matter most. His ability to keep runs down, extract turn, and build pressure has made him a valuable option for Ireland in both red-ball and white-ball cricket.

Over the years, McBrine has played an important role in Ireland’s ODI side, often operating as a steadying presence in the middle overs and breaking partnerships when the team needs control. He also contributes useful runs lower down the order, which adds balance to the lineup and gives Ireland extra depth. Experienced, composed, and tactically smart, Andy McBrine remains a key figure in Ireland’s spin attack and a trusted player in pressure situations.
