Paul Stirling creates history, becomes first player from Ireland to score 10,000 runs in international cricket

Paul Stirling, the omnipresent Ireland cricketer, became the first player from his country to notch up the 10k mark in international cricket. As Ireland began their journey towards making it to the 2027 ODI World Cup in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia, Stirling led the hosts from the front with an attacking half-century after the West Indies chose to bowl first. Stirling required 37 runs in the first ODI against the West Indies to achieve the landmark before he reached and scored a 64-ball 54, helping Ireland get a good start.
