Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
The southpaw decided to hang up his boots immediately after featuring in Ireland's debut Test against Pakistan. He ended his career as the fifth-highest run-getter for Ireland in ODIs with 2151 runs from 61 games at an average of 41.36. Joyce also played 17 ODIs for England between 2006 and 2007, scoring 471 runs at an average of 27.70 before switching back to playing for Ireland.
Joyce performed for Ireland from 2001 to 2005 but harboured a desire to play at the highest level. After completing his English residency qualification, he made his ODI debut for England in 2006. His T20I debut came just two days later. However, he missed a month's action after that due to a sprained ankle. Returning back to cricket, he put up some solid performances in Australia, even scoring a century at the SCG. However, the tour was not a pleasant one for England and he was dropped due to inconsistency and with the likes of Kevin Pietersen doing well.
Joyce comes from a big sporting family. His brothers have played in the Irish men's team while his twin sisters have represented Irish women. His mother is an official scorer and one of his elder brothers is a professional chess player. Joyce began playing cricket from a very young age. He joined Middlesex in 1999 and won the NBC Denis Compton Award a year later. He played for the county until 2008. He struck his career-best 211 against Warwickshire while playing for Middlesex. He led the team to victory in the 2008 T20 cup after which he switched to Sussex for better prospects. He was brilliant in the first season, scoring three tons and was named in England's provisional squad for the ICC Champions Trophy in 2009. Three years later, he took over Sussex's captaincy, succeeding Michael Yardy and led till 2015.
After almost 20 years at the English first class circuit, Joyce hung up his boots to concentrate on Irish cricket. His county career saw him scoring more than 18000 runs for Middlesex and Sussex. A solid batsman, Joyce's cricketing acumen has been rated highly by all and sundry in the cricketing fraternity and his presence at the top of the order ahead of Ireland's first ever Test would only help Test cricket's newest entrants.
Ironically, Joyce's ODI debut had come against England but then he was one of the members of the WC 2011 Irish team which shocked England and the cricketing world thanks to the blitzkrieg from Kevin O Brien. Since then, Joyce had been one of Ireland's most experienced middle-order batsman, until he called time on his career. He had a successful 2014 season with Sussex, scoring seven centuries at a solid average of 66 in Division One of the Championship. One of England's selectors Angus Fraser even stated that had Joyce been eligible, he would have been considered for a spot in England's Test side.
In the 2015 WC, Joyce improved his strike rate and scored 246 runs from 6 games for Ireland at a strike-rate of almost 100. He was just behind skipper Porterfield in the runs tally and that propelled Ireland within touching distance of place in the quarters. His dream of playing a fourth World Cup though was shattered as Ireland could not qualify for the grand event in 2019. Joyce also missed out on a couple of games and looked a little out of touch.
One of the most bizarre things to have happened in Joyce's career was a weird dismissal in a Championship game against Warwickshire in 2009. He swept a leg-side delivery off Ant Botha straight into the pocket of Jonathan Trott, who was fielding at short leg. Trott was taking evasive action, shielding himself from the ball and was stunned to find the ball firmly lodged in his right pocket.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Ed Joyce is best known as the Ireland batsman who played for two different countries in successive World Cups. Joyce had switched to England when the 2007 World Cup took place, having helped Irelands through the qualifying tournament, and became the first Irishman in the modern game to play for England. But he did not quite achieve the career he had envisaged and switched back to Ireland just in time for the next tournament in 2011. He had not quite achieved the four-year qualification period, but the ICC recognised a persuasive case and gave him special dispensation.
Joyce was born in Dublin, and from a large family with four brothers and four sisters. He was a star for Ireland at ICC Trophy level, scoring 758 runs in 14 matches between 2001 and 2005, at an average of 84.22. But he always had ambitions to play at the highest level and, after completing his English residency qualification in 2005, made his one-day debut against Ireland in 2006. The Irish team included his younger brother, Dominick. Two days later, he represented England in his first Twenty20 International, before missing a month with a sprained ankle. International cricket, though, had whet his appetite and upon his Championship return for Middlesex at Edgbaston he struck a career-best 211 against Warwickshire at Edgbaston.
He seemed to cement his England place with good performances in Australia - the highlight being a century against Australia at the SCG and then against lesser opponents in the 2007 World Cup, although questions began to be raised about his fluency and he was discarded after England's dismal tournament. Joyce was an important part of Middlesex's middle-order for a decade from his debut in 1999, but his frustration at a stalled England career was evident and after an unhappy 2008 he severed his ties with Middlesex and moved south to Sussex where he became an influential member of the side without ever regaining his England place.
He became Sussex captain in the middle of the 2012 season, succeeding Michael Yardy. He had an exceptional summer in 2014, hitting seven centuries and averaging 66 in the Division One of the Championship, outdone only by Yorkshire's Adam Lyth among regular performers. The England selector Angus Fraser even suggested that, were Joyce still eligible, he would have been seriously considered as Alastair Cook's opening partner in the Test side. He resigned after Sussex were surprisingly relegated in 2015, leaving Luke Wright to pick up the role in all three formats. The advent of first-class cricket in Ireland left him unsure of his Sussex future at the end of 2016, a season in which he set a new career-best with a masterful 250 against Derbyshire in Derby.
An oddity in Joyce's career was a rare form of dismissal in a Championship game against Warwickshire in 2009 when he swept a ball from Ant Botha straight into the pocket of the fielder at short leg, Jonathan Trott, who was leaping to take evasive action at the time.
Once Joyce recognised his England career was over, without the Test debut he had craved, he made clear his intentions to return to an international career with Ireland. He was named in an Irish pre-World Cup touring squad in October 2010 - more than five years after his last outing for Ireland - and shortly afterwards was granted special dispensation by the ICC to represent his country of birth at the tournament in February 2011. He explained that he had been driven to qualify for England by his desire to play Test cricket - "the pinnacle of the game" - but that as a "born and bred Irishman" he was eager to contribute to Ireland's success if that chance of Test cricket eluded him.
He is one of five members of the Joyce family to represent Ireland. Two brothers, Gus and Dom, and twin sisters Isobel and Cecelia, have also done so, with Isobel also captaining the Ireland women's team.
