Ian Young thought he would never play cricket again after a freak on-field accident in 2012, but on Saturday, he replaces club legend Davy Scanlon as Bready captain when the 2024 Long’s SuperValu Premiership season gets under way.

Scanlon has led Bready for the last 12 years, the majority without the services of Young, the older brother of Ireland international Craig.
