By IANS News March 19, 2026 • 18:42 PM View: 377

Ireland T20I: Veteran batter Paul Stirling has stepped down as Ireland's T20I captain as the team begins planning for the upcoming Men’s T20 World Cup in 2028. However, the 35-year-old will continue to lead the side in the ODIs.

Stirling was appointed ODI and T20I captain in October 2023 and led Ireland at the recently concluded ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026.

Placed in Group B in the tournament held in India and Sri Lanka, Ireland finished fourth of the five teams, managing just three points. The European side registered only one win and suffered two losses in the group stage, and one match was washed out.
