One of the most notable achievements of his tenure came at the 2007 World Cup in the Caribbean, when Ireland progressed to the Super Eight stage.
After his time with Ireland, Birrell worked with South African cricket, serving as an assistant coach from 2013 to 2017. Moreover, his splendid success came with Sunrisers Eastern Cape in South Africa's SA20 competition where under his leadership, the franchise won three titles.
