Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Shannon made his ODI debut in May 2013 against Pakistan. He struggled in his debut game before being bowled by Hafeez. He made his T20I debut in the World Twenty20 Qualifier(final) against Afghanistan, also in 2013.
Shannon was a product of Ireland's age-level cricket and prospered step by step through every level. However, that was his biggest enemy as well. Once he failed at the highest level and found it difficult to make the cut again, things were not the same for the young man. For someone who walks the talk, he is someone who does not shy away from the occasional banter on the field.
But James decided to fight his devils, more in the mind, to come back stronger. Thanks to a good domestic season in 2017 for Northern Knights, he was selected to represent the Ireland Wolves (Ireland A) for the tour to Bangladesh which included 6 list a games and one first-class game. However, after a terrific 90 in the first-class game, his form tapered off and he was even dropped for the last list-a game. Bangladesh A won every game barring two wash-outs.
Shannon plans to be a sports journalist if he is not able to be a professional cricketer.
Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
A player on the fringes of the Ireland set-up for a considerable time, middle-order batsman James Shannon earned a place in the country's first Test squad against Pakistan in May 2018 having previously played a combined three internationals - one ODI and two T20Is - in three years between 2013 and 2016.
Coming through the Ireland age-group system, representing them at all levels from Under-13s to Under-19s, he was a major contributor to the Under-19 side's path to the 2010 U-19 World Cup in New Zealand. Shannon finished with 266 runs at an average of 38 during the team's championship run at the global qualifier in Toronto, where he finished third on the team in scoring - behind only Paul Stirling and Andy Balbirnie. His time at the junior World Cup in New Zealand, however, was far less successful, where he scored only three runs in three matches before being dropped.
After developing through Instonians CC in the Belfast area club scene, he failed to secure a contract with Worcestershire following several trial opportunities in their second XI. His appearances for Cardiff MCCU also failed to attract any suitors from the English county scene before Shannon headed back to his native Belfast after graduation to represent Northern Knights in Ireland's Interprovincial domestic competition.
He parlayed some decent performances against South Africa A in the summer of 2012 for more opportunities in 2013, when his ODI debut came against Pakistan. He made his Intercontinental Cup debut later that summer against the Netherlands before being picked in Ireland's squad for the World T20 Qualifier in the UAE at the end of the year where he made nine runs in three appearances, which included a win over Afghanistan in the tournament final.
Since the end of 2013, opportunities have been sparse for Shannon with his only subsequent T20I appearance coming against Hong Kong at the end of the 2016 home summer. He has kept knocking at the door anyway with Northern Knights in the InterPro competition and has been picked in multiple squads for the Ireland Wolves against A sides from New Zealand and Bangladesh. He was included in Ireland's squad for the 2018 World Cup Qualifier in Zimbabwe, but he never took the field. His status as the favoured option to fill the reserve batsman role, however, was reinforced when he was included in the 14-man Test squad for Ireland's inaugural men's Test against Pakistan.
