Craig Young made a significant impact on the one-day international stage in September 2014 when he delivered a remarkable performance, taking five wickets for just 46 runs against Scotland. During Ireland’s warm-up tour of Australia and New Zealand in 2014, he emerged as their leading wicket-taker, providing encouraging signs for Ireland as they prepared for the ICC Cricket World Cup in 2015. Young’s exceptional skills with the ball earned him a Cricket Ireland contract at the beginning of 2014, underscoring his growing importance to the national team.
