Born in South Africa, Andre Botha is one of Ireland's veterans and brings valuable experience to a side that has seen an influx of younger players. His one-day international record is impressive with an average of 27.52 and he's also a very useful batsman who is capable of playing in the top four. He had a key role in Ireland's most famous day when they beat Pakistan in Jamaica, tying the batsmen down with his wicket-to-wicket attack that brought 2 for 5 in eight overs.
