Ireland entered the 2011 World Cup as an associate member of the ICC under the captaincy of William Porterfield.

Ireland lived up to their expectations as they caused a major in the World Cup, conquering the English team.

William Porterfield had an impressive tournament as with the help of his 50 they were able to clinch a win against the Netherlands.

William Porterfield had invested his time and efforts to build Ireland Cricket. He has been a part of the Irish team right from the U-13 cricket.

He has also been privileged with the Associate and Affiliate player award. He has been the icon for many young batsmen despite being the part of an associate team. Porterfield had elevated himself as one of the best openers of the world.

The cornerstone of Ireland has not retired yet but has stepped down as the captain in T-20s. Porterfield is still leading Ireland in Test and ODI cricket.

Along with national duty, he is also playing for Warwickshire County Cricket Club and the North West Warriors.
