Andrew McBrine, a skilled off-spinner with a knack for contributing in the lower order with the bat, marked his debut for the Irish cricket team in May 2013 in a match against Scotland. His journey in one-day international cricket began a year later, once again against Scotland in Dublin. McBrine’s performance was notable in this game, where he secured 2 wickets for 38 runs.
In preparation for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015, McBrine was selected to be part of the squad that embarked on a tour to Australia, New Zealand, and Dubai. During this tour, McBrine demonstrated his capabilities on the field, leaving a mark with his all-round skills. Notably, he put up a stellar performance against New Zealand A in Dubai, where he notched 2 wickets for 38 runs and contributed with the bat by scoring an unbeaten 43. His promising abilities as a cricketer continued to develop.
