Niall O'Brien announces international retirement

The Hindu  

A cheerful, fun-loving gentleman, who loves playing cricket the most. The eldest of the O’Brien brothers, Niall, has been one of the most prominent soldiers of Ireland cricket for the last 16 years and has been a part of the country’s almost every cricketing first. The 36-year-old stumper-batsman, who made his international debut against Denmark in 2002, played 216 times for Ireland and has always been known as one of the most ‘forward-looking’ cricketers the country has produced. But then there was Niall, who would come up with fearless statements like ‘why can’t we beat them?’ While those would mostly not come true, but the words eventually helped the Ireland team come together. While he has been one of the longest-serving members of the Ireland team, Niall has also featured for Kent, Northamptonshire and Leicestershire in the English county seasons.
