Dockrell admits England lure

IRELAND spinner George Dockrell admits the lure of Test cricket could one day tempt him to join the England ranks but for now his sights are set on beating Andrew Strauss’ side in Bangalore.

The 18-year-old slow left-armer is considered one of the brightest prospects among the associate nations and did little to dampen those expectations with figures of two for 23 from 10 overs on his World Cup debut against Bangladesh.

While that effort was ultimately in a losing cause, it is unlikely to have escaped the attention of the England selectors — who have previously claimed Ed Joyce and Eoin Morgan from the Ireland camp.
