Ireland captain Tim Tector, the third consecutive Tector brother to captain Ireland U19s at the World Cup spoke ahead of their first match against Uganda.

“It’s great to have them (Jack and Harry) do it before, they were able to give me a few tips before I came out here. It’s certainly a weird one being the third brother to do it – I’ve had a lot of questions about it but it’s great we’ve all been able to do it.

“Jack was the first to get into cricket, he started when he was seven or eight but where we lived a few years ago we had quite a big garden at the back, and we played a lot of backyard cricket and we were always talking about cricket around the dinner table.

“We have Uganda first up and our focus is on that first, we are pretty confident for that game but you’ve got to take it one game at a time. India will be a different challenge in itself – none of us have ever played a game on TV before so that part about it will be a bit different. There’s always going to be a few nerves about playing those big games, but I think when the time comes and when we step over the rope we will be ready to go.”
