I’m thrilled to have been signed by the defending champions, the Gujarat Titans, and look forward to playing under Hardik Pandya in such a high-caliber squad, Little said in a statement released by Cricket Ireland.
I am also excited to work with coach Ashish Nehra and would like to thank the Titans’ management team for believing in me, he added.
The left-arm seamer made his international debut in 2016 and has since played 22 One-Day Internationals and 53 Twenty20 Internationals.
I have loved playing international cricket for Ireland – and that will always be my priority – but to be able to learn and play in the IPL will be an incredible opportunity, and I am grateful to Cricket Ireland for their support. Little was a net bowler for the Chennai Super Kings last year.
He had a memorable hat-trick against New Zealand earlier this year in Ireland’s T20 World Cup loss in Adelaide. In the 19th over, he dismissed Kane Williamson, James Neesham, and Mitchell Santner.
We are thrilled for Josh and wish him the best of luck in the IPL next year. Josh is a dedicated and hardworking athlete who has worked his way up through the Irish system According to Cricket Ireland’s High Performance Director, Richard Holdsworth.

He has been an integral part of the Irish setup for several years now, and we believe his development will be accelerated even further by his participation in the IPL. Little has played in several franchise leagues, including England’s The Hundred and the Lanka Premier League. He was also recently drafted into the Pakistan Super League.
