Ireland still basking in the glory after beating India in T20I series in Belfast

Ireland sealed a 2-0 series success in Belfast after winning the second T20 by one run which followed a 34-run victory in the first match on Friday.

The Irish have a rich history of causing upsets, famously beating Pakistan at the 2007 ODI World Cup and then chasing down a target of 328 to down neighbours England at the 2011 World Cup.

The 26-year-old Tector acknowledged those results and how they paved the way to many wanting to take up the sport, but said beating India probably tops all of that.

He said: "Sometimes those things can be hard to measure because when I was growing up, Ireland beat Pakistan in 2007, beat England in 2011.

"Like they were so, so big for the sport, but I think as an achievement for a cricket team to go out there and beat the two-time back-to-back world champions, it's like they're such a good team.

"I couldn't speak to the games I haven't been involved in because they were such amazing wins at a time when Irish cricket needed to do it, but certainly since I've been involved I'm not sure I've been involved in a bigger accomplishment."

Tector also also played a his milestone 100th T20I cap for his country during the series.

He added: "That's what you want to do as an Irish cricketer. I got my 100th cap today, but I reckon more than half of them are away from home, certainly a good bit more than half actually, so playing at home is brilliant, and I'd love to do more."
