Dublin, Dec 11 (Ians) Cricket Ireland has announced a 16-man squad for the two Odi series against the UAE and Afghanistan set to be played in January. The Odi series against Afghanistan will be part of the World Cup Super League.
This will be Ireland first international action since their dramatic run-chase victory over World Champions England back in early August.
Players and support staff, who are not on the tour, will remain at home under Covid-19 safe conditions in case a substitute needs to be flown out to Abu Dhabi during the month, said Cricket Ireland.
Gary Wilson will not join the Ireland squad for this tour in order to be at home for the birth of his second child, with Neil Rock coming in as wicket-keeping cover.
There is also no place for the likes of George Dockrell, William Porterfield, Boyd Rankin, who were all part of the touring party to England in August.
