Joshua Little (born 1 November 1999) is an Irish cricketer. He made his international debut for the Ireland cricket team in September 2016.[1][2]

International career

He made his Twenty20 International (T20I) debut against Hong Kong on 5 September 2016.[3] Little was 16 years old at the time of his debut, making him the second-youngest to have played at that level,[4] after Hong Kong's Waqas Khan.[5] Prior to his T20I debut, Little was named in Ireland's squad for the 2016 Under-19 Cricket World Cup.[6]

Little was originally named in Ireland's T20I squad for their series against Afghanistan in India in March 2017.[7] However, he had to withdraw because of education commitments.[8] In December 2017, he was named in Ireland's squad for the 2018 Under-19 Cricket World Cup.[9]

In January 2019, he was named in Ireland's T20I squads for the Oman Quadrangular Series and the series against Afghanistan in India.[10][11] In April 2019, he was named in Ireland's One Day International (ODI) squads for the one-off match against England and the 2019 Ireland Tri-Nation Series.[12] He made his ODI debut for Ireland against England on 3 May 2019.[13]

On 10 July 2020, Little was named in Ireland's 21-man squad to travel to England to start training behind closed doors for the ODI series against the England cricket team.[14][15]

Domestic and T20 career

He made his List A debut for Leinster Lightning in the 2018 Inter-Provincial Cup on 19 June 2018.[16] He made his first-class debut for Leinster Lightning in the 2018 Inter-Provincial Championship on 20 June 2018.[17] In April 2019, he was one of five cricketers to be awarded with an Emerging Player Contract by Cricket Ireland, ahead of the 2019 domestic season.[18]

In July 2019, he was selected to play for the Dublin Chiefs in the inaugural edition of the Euro T20 Slam cricket tournament.[19][20] However, the following month the tournament was cancelled.[21]
