Ireland cricket squad for final C&G game named

Ireland have named a squad of 12 for their final C&G game with Somerset at Stormont on Sunday June 25.

With Saqlain Mushtaq being unavailable for the game, the selectors have made just the one change to the squad which played in the One Day International against England last Tuesday.

Gary Wilson has been drafted in to replace opener Dominick Joyce. The wicket-keeper batsman has won 5 caps for Ireland, the most recent being in the InterContinental Cup win over Namibia.

The Bank of Ireland sponsored team will be looking to end their C&G campaign with a victory, and will be hoping for a good crowd following the capacity 7,000 which turned up for the historic ODI.

The squad in full is as follows: Trent Johnston (23)– Captain (Clontarf), Andre Botha (21) (North County) Jeremy Bray (03) (Eglinton), Peter Gillespie (05) (Strabane), David Langford-Smith (76) (Phoenix), Kyle Mc Callan (07) (Waringstown), John Mooney (10) (North County), Paul Mooney (32) (North County), Kevin O’ Brien (22) (Railway Union), William Porterfield (80) (Rush), Andrew White (12) (Northants), Gary Wilson (04) (Civil Service North).
