Ireland cricket team coach John Bracewell has good hopes from the side and thinks that team can go to the furthre round of championship. According him captain Porterfield and some of the senior players like O’Brien brothers, Tim Murtagh, Paul Stirling and Stuart Thompson are ready to face big challenges in the competition.

Coach said, “The squad has got a real balance to it, with that blend of youth and experience that every coach likes. Ireland are now regular performers on the world stage so there’s no fear or intimidation factors. Everyone has been given a real boost by the return of Rankin and Tim Murtagh’s rethink on retirement in this format. Porty (Porterfield) has plenty of options with the ball as so many of the squad are genuine all-rounders.”
