Irish squad named for lucrative World League

IRISH cricket bosses are hoping for a financial windfall at next year’s World Cricket League in Kenya.

The six-team tournament runs from January 30 until February 7 and the top two finishers will receive $250,000 (€189,946) and a place in the inaugural ICC Twenty20 Championships in South Africa in September.

The competition features the top six ranked countries below Test level, namely Kenya, Scotland, Ireland, Canada, The Netherlands and Bermuda.
