Paul Stirling has stepped down as Ireland's T20 captain, but will remain as captain of the nation's one-day international squad.
Stirling, 35, was appointed the white-ball captain in 2023 and led the team at the ICC T20 World Cup in Sri Lanka last month.
The captaincy change will now result in Ireland having a dedicated captain for each of the three formats, with Andrew Balbirnie captaining the Test team.
Stirling said:"After careful thought and reflection, I have decided to step down as captain of Ireland’s T20 side.
"It has been a tremendous honour to lead Ireland in this format and something I have been incredibly proud to do.
"Captaining your country is a privilege that carries great responsibility and I’m very grateful for the trust and support I have received during my time in the role.
"I would like to thank my team-mates, the coaching staff, the wider support staff, and everyone involved with Cricket Ireland for the backing they have shown me throughout.
"I’m also hugely appreciative of the support from fans who continue to follow and champion this team wherever we play.
"While I will be stepping away from the T20 captaincy, I remain fully committed to the Ireland team and will continue in my role as ODI captain."
