England Name 24-Man Training Squad For ODI Series Against Ireland

England have named a 24-strong squad for the upcoming ODI series against Ireland. The team will be led by regular skipper Eoin Morgan with seven uncapped players included in the squad which has key players like Moeen Ali, Jonny Bairstow, Adil Rashid and Jason Roy in the ranks.

The three-match ODI series between England and Ireland will get underway from July 30 with the concluding match played on August 4. The English training squad will begin their training at the Ageas Bowl from July 16 ahead of the Royal London Series which starts from the end of the month.

The group, along with a separate white-ball management team, will live, prepare and train on-site at the Ageas Bowl. Two intra-group warm-up matches will take place on 21 July and 24 July.

Meanwhile, a final England squad for the Ireland series, plus a number of reserves, will be named at a later date, according to the official media release.

Commenting on the selection of the group, national Selector Ed Smith, said: “Even with several multi-format players unavailable for the Ireland ODIs due to their Test commitments, there is real depth to England’s white ball playing talent.

“Again, everyone at England cricket would like to thank all the county coaches and support staff who have helped these players in the lead up to the behind-closed-doors training camp.

“We now look forward to hosting Ireland and continuing to develop our white ball strength in depth.”
