Joshua Little, born on 1st November 1999, emerged as a notable force in the world of cricket with his distinctive left-arm-fast-medium bowling. Raised in Dublin, Ireland, Little's cricketing journey began in local clubs where his raw talent and passion for the game quickly caught the attention of scouts. His natural flair and early promise as a bowler set him on a path of rapid progression, paving the way for his professional debut.

His breakthrough came when he became the youngest player to debut for the Irish ODI team at the tender age of 16 against Afghanistan. This early exposure to international cricket played a crucial role in honing his competitive edge. Little's ability to swing the ball at pace, combined with his tactical acumen, made him a valuable asset to the team. His delivery, often characterised by swift movement and accuracy, bamboozled batsmen across continents, earning him accolades and respect from opponents and teammates alike.

Throughout his career, Little has been instrumental in key matches that etched his name into the annals of cricketing excellence. One such defining performance came during the 2021 T20 World Cup qualifiers, where his remarkable spell against Scotland included a hat-trick, propelling Ireland into the main tournament and strengthening their status in the cricketing community. Matches against rivals such as England and Bangladesh have also seen Little rise to the occasion, showcasing his knack for delivering under pressure.

Little's playing style embodies an intriguing balance of aggression and control. While predominantly a bowler, his right-hand batting has often provided crucial runs in lower-order partnerships, further demonstrating his all-round capabilities. This duality has made significant contributions during tight matches, often altering the course of the game.

His career, not without its challenges, is marked by significant moments that illustrate his impact on the sport. Little's resilience, whether coming back strong from an injury or adapting to playing conditions, speaks volumes of his commitment and versatility. Beyond statistics, it's his spirit and sportsmanship that resonate, making him not just a player of numbers but a cricketer of substance.

As he continues to represent Ireland, Joshua Little remains a crucial figure in their cricketing line-up, a player whose trajectory promises to inspire the next generation of cricketers from his homeland and beyond.
