James Alexander McCollum, an Irish cricketer, was born on August 1, 1995. James McCollum, an Irish all-rounder who bats and bowls with a seam, is a good example. His batting average in 12 first-class games is 55, and his 200 runs and 6 fifty scores in just 19 innings demonstrate his consistency at the domestic level. When he took five wickets in his first-class match, it shocked the North West Warriors. McCollum debuted in a first-class match for the Durham MCCU on March 28, 2017, during the Marylebone Cricket Club(MCC) University series. Before making his first-class debut in 2017, he competed for the Northern Knights in Ireland’s Inter-provincial Championship in 2016. He first played Twenty20 with the Northern Knights in the 2017 Inter-Provincial Trophy on June 23.

In August 2017, he made his List A debut with the same squad at the Inter-Provincial Cup. With 442 runs, he led the Northern Knights in scoring at the 2018 Inter-Provincial Championship, where his team won the tournament. Due to his outstanding performance, Cricket Ireland awarded him one of 19 central contracts for the 2019 season back in December. Unexpectedly, he was included in Ireland’s Test and ODI squads in January 2019 for their series against Afghanistan in India. Given his difficulties in transferring his first-class form to the List A and Twenty20 formats, this was a big surprise.
