Career

Having played once for Gloucestershire Under-25s in 1985,[7] McCrum first played for Ireland in June 1990 against the MCC. He then spent two years out of the Ireland side[3] before playing his only first-class match against Scotland in June 1992.[4] This was followed by his List A debut against Durham the same month,[5] and he rounded out 1992 with a match against the MCC, two matches against an England amateur XI and a match against Gloucestershire.[3]

In 1993, he played his final List A match against Yorkshire[5] before seven more matches for Ireland, including games against Barbados, Wales, the MCC and the Netherlands.[3] He represented Ireland at the 1994 ICC Trophy,[8] winning the man of the match award against Gibraltar,[9] which were his last matches for Ireland.[3]
