Vice-captain Kevin O’Brien recovered for October tour to Zimbabwe and Namibia

Vice-captain Kevin O’Brien has been named in the Ireland squad to tour Zimbabwe and Namibia in October.

The 31-year-old takes his place in a full-strength,15-man panel after recovering from the hamstring injury that ruled him out of the one-day international defeat to world champions Australia in August.

It capped a good day for the Railway Union all-rounder, who also signed a one-day and Twenty20 contract with English county side Leicestershire for the 2016 season on Wednesday.
