Sport England National School Games: Ireland have appointed James Cameron-Dow as their new national spin bowling coach for the women’s team. Cameron-Dow played a Test and four ODIs for the Ireland men’s team and started to coach while studying. He went on to continue his coaching in parallel with playing over subsequent years.

On taking up the role, Cameron-Down believes Ireland’s spin bowling stocks represent a small but exciting group that have a big future in the game.

“Working with the senior squad has been fantastic – they are an engaged and talented group of players. I’m really looking forward to seeing what we can do going forward. With respect to the spinners, I wouldn’t say there is an abundance of them at the moment, but the cohort we have is very exciting.”
