Younger brother of Niall, the Ireland wicketkeeper, Kevin is a stockily built medium-pacer and a classy middle-order batsman. He represented Ireland at the 2004 Under-19 World Cup in which he racked up 241 runs and also struck 35 from 48 balls against England on his ODI debut. Like many of Ireland's batsmen, he had a productive time in Kenya during the 2007 World Cricket League when he was the second-top-scorer with 263 runs at an average of 52.80, including a delightful 142 from 125 balls against the hosts. He was consistent with the bat in the 2007 World Cup and resourceful with the ball, though not devastatingly successful in either discipline. One for the future, certainly.
