Ireland fast bowler Josh Little on his journey from snubbing cricket for festivals to facing India as an IPL star in the making.
Josh Little wants to show India fans what they have been missing in Ireland's T20 World Cup opener in New York.
"Do I want to Yes, 100%. It's not ideal playing one game, but the one game I did play I thought I took my chance," Little, 24, told BBC Sport. "There's a fair bit of knowledge that I would have got over the two seasons that I'm more than happy to share with the lads," he said.Little's international career was almost derailed before it even properly began.
"They just said 'look, you have to find a way out of going'. I just messaged my coach and I said 'I'm not available this weekend'."But a conversation with the then Ireland coach Graham Ford brought matters to a head. The manner in which he developed his bowling - he is the fastest in the Irish side and has broken the 90mph barrier - was also slightly unorthodox.
