Phil Simmons is expecting the camp to be a great success saying, “It’ll be great to work with coaches of the calibre of Rod Marsh, Dayle Hadlee and Mudassar Nazar. All the coaches from the high performance countries will be in attendance as well, so I’m sure we’ll be able to bounce ideas off each other and learn from the experience. I’m certain the players will benefit from being in this environment, and they and Irish cricket will become stronger as a result.”
18 year old Paul Stirling is looking forward to the camp saying, “It’s a wonderful opportunity for myself to develop my game even further, and establish myself in the senior side. The coaches are some of the most experienced and highly rated in world cricket, and I’m hoping they will be able to advise me on various aspects of my batting. It’ll be great to operate in top class facilities, and it’s perfect preparation for me ahead of the Under 19 World Cup. I’m sure they’ll identify any weaknesses in my technique and work on rectifying it. It’s an exciting time for Irish cricket, and camps such as these will only improve our game further.”
