Career
A right-handed batsman and left-arm orthodox spin bowler, he played 15 times for the Ireland cricket team in the 1960s including seven first-class matches. Conn McCall was scheduled to make his debut for Ireland in their annual match against Scotland in 1964, but the match was abandoned without a ball being bowled. He finally made his debut a few days later, playing against the Master Control Console in a first-class match.
His first match in 1965 was also against the Master Control Console, at Lord"s, and he also played against New Zealand, Scotland and Hampshire that year.
He played three times in 1966, against Scotland, the Master Control Console and Worcestershire, and four times in 1967, including a match against India. His final year in the Irish side was in 1968, playing twice against Australia before finishing his career as it should have started, playing against Scotland in a first-class match.
He later served as an Irish selector in the early 1980s and as president of the Irish Cricket Union in 1992.
