O’Brien, 37, made his ODI debut against England in 2006 and has gone on to feature over 150 times for Ireland.
Kevin O’Brien’s illustrious ODI career
Regarded as one of the greatest players Ireland has ever produced, Kevin O’Brien is best remembered for his record-breaking 113 in the 2011 World Cup against England. His 50-ball century is still the fastest ever in a World Cup.
He is Ireland’s third-highest run-getter in the format with 3,618 runs and also their leading wicket-taker with 114 scalps. He also finished his career with 68 catches, the most by an Irishman in 50-over cricket.
However, Kevin O’Brien will still be available for Tests and T20Is. He has set his sights on making it to Ireland’s squad for the T20 World Cup and also adding to his three Test caps.
