Being away from home is never easy, especially when you’re not playing. There’s a lot I can take from the World Cup, winning crunch matches builds character in teams. I can say I was there and can carry that character through if I do become a regular member of the team. It’s the nature of cricket, especially with all the footage,” I had five innings against Bangladesh on the bounce, they had enough time to look at me and expose those flaws Interview: Doheny's 'whirlwind' few months culminates with Emerging Ireland captaincy, Nov 2023 The Part Time by Nathan Johns The series will be particularly beneficial to the guys who will be involved in the inter-provincial series – the opportunity to gain some time in the middle against good opposition should put us in good stead, whilst giving many players the chance to showcase their skills and put their hand up for representative honours going forward. it can be a competitive series with plenty of skill on show Captaincy is definitely an aspect of my game I’m looking to acquire and improve on with every opportunity I get – I enjoy the responsibility and the pressures involved.

I was extremely confident in my game and excited for what the season had to offer. Unfortunately, that was halted by the pandemic, but my plans haven’t changed. The online learning and home-based challenges were extremely helpful, and allowed us to dive into elements of our game that we mightn’t have looked at if the season was in full flow.
