Ireland fast bowler Liam McCarthy made his T20I debut on Sunday (June 15) against the West Indies in Bready, Northern Ireland, but it turned out to be a nightmare for him as he conceded 81 runs in his quota of four overs.
He was introduced to the attack in the fifth over of West Indies' innings, and on the first two balls, West Indies T20I captain Shai Hope hammered him for two back-to-back sixes. Evin Lewis then joined the party by hitting four on the fourth and fifth balls to help the West Indies team score a total of 21 runs from his first over.
In his second over, Lewis smacked 6, 4, 4, and 4 runs on the first four balls, and on the last ball, Hope also scored a boundary to help the West Indies add 24 more runs to their total.
In McCarthy's third over of the match, Shimron Hetmyer scored four on the first, fifth, and sixth balls, and Keacy Carty also scored a boundary on the third ball of the over to collect a total of 18 runs. In his final over, Liam conceded one four and two sixes against Carty to finish his quota of four overs with 81 runs.
Only Musa Jobarteh of Gambia has conceded more runs in a T20I match than McCarthy.
During the ICC Men's T20 World Cup Sub Regional Africa Qualifier Group B match played between Gambia and Zimbabwe in Nairobi (Ruaraka) on October 23, 2024, Musa conceded 93 runs in four overs.
For the West Indies, Lewis scored 91 runs from 44 balls with the help of 7 fours and 8 sixes, and Hope smashed 51 runs from just 27 balls with the help of 4 fours and as many sixes. The duo added 122 runs in 10.3 overs for the first wicket.

Cricket is my passion: Piyush
Kanpur: Cricket is my passion, and I enjoyed it in the ground and now in the bowl behind the mike," said Piyush Chawla , an international cricketer and a UP lad. In a brief meeting with TOI, Chawla, who had retired from cricket on June 6 last, clearly said cricket is his passion but coaching was not in his mind as he had no interest in it. Piyush made his debut in international test cricket on March 9, 2006. Though he had played just three tests, he was the member of two World Cup winning teams. In the IPL, he is one of the most successful bowlers with 192 wickets. Asked why, despite coaching being popular among former cricketers, he prefers not to coach, Chawla explained that coaching requires a lot of time, or you may say it is a full-time job and it also requires complete dedication and analysis of each player. When he cannot give full time then it would be injustice and he was not interested in just making money. However, if any player has a problem in his game and style then he would be available for him for correction. He would spend two three days with him to correct him. When questioned about his sudden retirement, Chawla said, "Nothing. I had played enough cricket and thought to say goodbye to active cricket for the last five months. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trading CFD dengan Teknologi dan Kecepatan Lebih Baik IC Markets Mendaftar Undo On the night of June 5, my mind and heart said "announce retirement and on June 6 morning I sent a mail to BCCI GCA about my decision and that was all." Regarding his future plans, Chawla said, "At present I am enjoying the delivery of Aankho Dekha hall from the ground (cricket commentary) with full devotion and passion and listeners are liking that, and their comments encourage me. Besides, I will continue playing cricket in the veteran league. I will play only in BCCI cleared leagues because they are official and run for a long period." Reflecting on his international career, where he played his first test in 2006 and last in 2012, Chawla noted that during this period he was the member of four World Cup teams, and two out of them were World Cup champions. They were special achievements.
