William Porterfield has stepped down as Ireland captain after 11 years at the helm, Cricket Ireland announced on Friday.
The 35-year-old, who took over from Trent Johnston in 2008, has been replaced by Andrew Balbirnie. "It has been an incredible journey, and a fantastic honour to have captained my country over the past 11 and a half years," Porterfield said in a statement on the federation website. Porterfield, who intends to keep playing international cricket, led the senior Irish side 253 times across all forms of the game since taking over from Johnston.
