He remained an integral part of the Irish side, playing in the inaugural ICC Trophy campaign in 1994. [7] He took ten wickets in the tournament at an average of 23.90, winning man of the match awards against Papua New Guinea and Malaysia. [8]

That year was rounded off with his final first-class match against Scotland [2] and the Triple Crown Tournament in July.
