Ireland’s red-ball captain (and former white-ball captain) is one of only three players to score a double century for Ireland (with Ed Joyce and Eoin Morgan). A classical batsman that is pleasing on the eye, Balbirnie's leadership has long been clear to see on the field as he continues to bat in the top order for Ireland in all formats.

Ireland’s red-ball captain (and former white-ball captain) is one of only three players to score a double century for Ireland (with Ed Joyce and Eoin Morgan). A classical batsman that is pleasing on the eye, Balbirnie's leadership has long been clear to see on the field as he continues to bat in the top order for Ireland in all formats.
Currently the fourth-highest runscorer ever for Ireland Men, he came of age against the Netherlands in the 2017 Intercontinental-Cup match when he scored 205* and 50 and has been ever-present since.
Balbirnie is behind only William Porterfield in captaining Ireland Men the most times.
