Benjamin Charlie White

Born on 29th August 1998 in the verdant landscapes of the Republic of Ireland, Benjamin Charlie White has carved a niche in the world of cricket with his scintillating performances as a bowler. From a young age, Benjamin showed an affinity for cricket; inspired by local legends and the thrill of the game, he started playing cricket in the lush fields of his hometown. As a teenager, his weekends were mostly spent perfecting his craft, specifically his legbreak-googly, which caught the eye of local coaches.

Benjamin’s cricketing journey took a significant leap when he joined the Irish Under-19 team, where his prowess with the ball led his team to several victories on the junior circuit. His ability to outfox batsmen with his right-arm spin soon made waves, culminating in his professional debut in Ireland's domestic cricket league at the age of 20. Benjamin's debut season was nothing short of sensational, as he quickly became known for his uncanny ability to turn the ball sharply, troubling even the most seasoned batsmen.

Among his crowning achievements, Benjamin played a pivotal role in securing a historic victory for Ireland against a more established cricketing nation in a tri-series, where he claimed a five-wicket haul in the final match, etching his name in the annals of Irish cricket. His spellbinding performance was hailed as a masterclass in spin bowling, underscoring his flair for rising to the occasion in high-stakes matches.

Throughout his career, Benjamin thrived in matches against traditional rivals, notably Scotland. The fierce clashes between the two sides were always heated, but Benjamin's composed demeanour and precise bowling often tilted the balance in Ireland’s favour. His most memorable performance against the Scots came in a nail-biting T20 match, where his deceptive googlies dismantled the Scottish batting lineup, turning the game on its head.

Benjamin’s style is marked by his strategic acumen, often setting up batsmen with a series of legbreaks before unleashing the deadly googly, a delivery that has bewildered many. While primarily celebrated for his bowling, his contributions as a lower-order batsman have also provided crucial runs in tight situations.
