About Daniel Birrell
Daniel Birrell, jersey number 16, is a promising right-arm medium-fast bowler who has emerged as a steady contributor in Jersey’s pace department. With a smooth action and disciplined line-and-length bowling, Birrell plays the role of a support seamer—containing runs while also chipping in with timely wickets.
Birrell rose through the youth ranks and made his senior debut in the ICC Challenge League campaigns. His bowling is marked by consistency rather than express pace. He relies on seam movement, subtle changes of pace, and precision to outthink batters. He is often used during the middle overs to maintain control or in tandem with frontline pacers like Julius Sumerauer.
Although not flashy, Birrell’s value to the team lies in his reliability. He’s known for maintaining tight economy rates and building pressure that creates wicket-taking opportunities for others. In key matches, such as Jersey’s close contests against Denmark and Hong Kong, Birrell bowled crucial overs to tilt the momentum.
While primarily a bowler, he has also shown promise with the bat in the lower order—displaying a solid technique and the ability to stick around when required. His fielding is sharp and dependable, typically fielding in the outfield where his throwing arm is an asset.
As he matures in international cricket, Birrell is expected to take on greater responsibility within Jersey’s evolving pace attack and continue contributing to their progression through the ICC Associate ranks.
