William Porterfield, captain of the Irish Senior team, has played for Ireland at every level from under-13 upwards. He also captained at just about all levels and in many ways highlights the success of the developmental aspects of Irish Cricket.

As of the end of the 2012 ICC World Twenty20 he has won 155 Caps. An opening bat, he has scored 4,700 runs making him Ireland’s leading runscorer to date, and has scored 8 centuries, also a record for Ireland. He is also acknowledged to be the outstanding Ireland fielder and has taken 76 catches (though he is only the third highest catcher for Ireland to date).

With the drain of top-class batsman away from Ireland in search of higher honours - notably Eoin Morgan - Porterfield's role is increasingly important especially now that he is also the leader of the strongest Associate nation.
