“My focus is primarily at the minute on the Under 19 World Cup, and our opener with England on Sunday.”

“I'm a little surprised at how quickly everything has happened, but I've been given a chance and hopefully I can grasp it.”

“It's a fantastic feeling to be called up into the senior ranks - to be sharing a dressing room with the heroes of the World Cup will be tremendous, and hopefully it will be a great experience for me.”

“It's still incredibly tough with all the heat and humidity, but we're getting stronger with every day.”

“We've given ourselves a real chance of causing an upset this time around as we've played 4 warm up games, and spent a week in India at a traing camp prior to arriving in Malaysia.”

“The players have all been given gym memberships and we've worked hard individually. I feel a lot fitter and lost nearly 10 kilos in that time.”

“We've done a lot of running, and also in addition to regular cricket nets, we've used the facilities at the National Aquatic centre in Dublin.”
