Isaac Bird (23) is a terrific young batting all-rounder from Auckland, New Zealand. (Irish Passport)
A hard-hitting right-hander, the 23-year-old currently plays for Auckland Premier Grade powerhouse, East Coast Bays Cricket Club.
Enjoying a successful 2022/23 summer, Bird racked up over 450 runs with a high-score of 70. In 2023/24, Isaac again impressed, churning out 400 runs in Auckland's flagship competition. The 'Kiwi' who also bowls handy right-arm off-spin, averages under 20 with the ball in hand, although opportunities have been few and far between across recent seasons.
At conclusion of the NZ summer, Isaac travelled to the UK ahead of the 2024 season. Turning out for Grimsby Cricket Club in the ECB Lincolnshire Premier League, Bird finished the season with 536 runs at an average of 31.53, including two half-centuries and a century. He also picked up 15 wickets with his tweakers.
Returning to the Northern Hemisphere for the ongoing 2025 Summer, Isaac has been in extraordinary for North West Union side, Ballyspallen. Bird has smashed over 1000 runs across all competitions, including three centuries & six half-centuries.
Isaac has also gone on to take 41 wickets with his off-spin & enjoyed one of the most ridiculous Saturday performances we have ever seen when he hit 170 & took 6/28 in the same match.
The Kiwi ventured to Geelong this winter to play for Highton Cricket Club in the strong Geelong Cricket Association and has another impressive season with nearly 500 runs at 42 with a high score of 154 and chipped in with 16 wickets at the time of writing this.
Rewarded with a North West T20 debut in recent times, the New Zealander is enjoying a fantastic season. Holding an Irish Passport and a NZC Level One Coaching qualification, the youngster will be returning to Ireland in 2026, signing for Rush Cricket Club in the Cricket Leinster Competition.
He is now keen to return to Australia full time and set up camp after his Irish season. He is travelling with his partner and potentially happy to source own accommodation.
