Ireland have picked five uncapped players in their Test squad for the upcoming tour of Bangladesh. Andrew Balbirnie will captain a side that will have only seven players from the squad that toured Bangladesh in 2023 where they lost the one-off Test, reports Cricbuzz.
Cade Carmichael, Liam McCarthy, Jordan Neill and Stephen Doheny have received their maiden callups whereas Gavin Hoey is the fifth uncapped player who has been picked in Ireland's Test squad before. Even though experienced campaigner Mark Adair has regained fitness after undergoing a knee surgery, Cricket Ireland have picked him to play only the T20I leg of the tour.
The Paul Sterling-led T20I squad sees the return of Tim Tector whereas Ben Calitz, who made his debut for Ireland in the final T20I against England just over two weeks ago, retains his spot. 11 out of the 15 players picked were present in the squad that toured in 2023.
The tour kicks off next month with the opening Test scheduled to
begin from November 11 in Sylhet. The second Test will kickstart on November 19 in Dhaka after which the action moves to Chattogram for the first two T20Is. The tour will conclude with the final T20I in Dhaka.
