He comes from a family with strong sporting roots; his father Ricky played Irish League football, while his mother Joanne was an accomplished high jumper. Mark has three siblings: his older brother Ross, younger sister Jordan, and another sister named Caitlin who is also a twin. Ross is a former rugby player who also played cricket, representing Ireland at youth levels and later returning to cricket after an injury ended his rugby career.

Jordan is Mark's eldest sibling and remains active in sports. Mark's cricket career began with a trial at Warwickshire when he was just 17, and he made his first-class debut for the county in 2015. He has since played in various formats for Warwickshire, and later Essex, as well as for Ireland's domestic team the Northern Knights.

Adair made his international debut for Ireland in ODIs against England in 2019, followed by T20I and Test match debuts in the same year. His international career has included strong performances in bilateral series and ICC events, earning him recognition as one of Ireland's leading wicket-takers in various tournaments, including the 2019 T20 World Cup Qualifier.
