Tector will get an opportunity to improve his ranking further when Ireland takes part in the ICC World Cup Qualifier in Zimbabwe in June-July. "He's [Tector] just got all the attributes to go on and be one of the greats of Irish cricket, and I hope we can help him on his way and he continues to put in scores for us. The more runs he gets for us, the better place we'll be," Ireland skipper Andy Balbirnie told ICC.
