An opening bowler who can move the ball both ways, Mark (or 'Sparky') is also known for his power hitting down the order. He often bowls the most difficult overs in the match with plenty of variations in his armoury.

Versatility makes Mark one of the central cogs in all formats of the game for Ireland – he is a bowler who is up for any challenge and doesn’t shy away from difficult situations.

He contributes in all facets of the game and has the drive and ambition to lead the line for many years to come.

In December 2023, Mark became the first Irish bowler to reach 100 wickets in T20Is, and the second-fastest in world cricket to take 100 T20I wickets.
