CHALLENGE: Heinrich Malan is relishing Ireland going up against England (Mike Egerton/PA)

Ireland head coach Heinrich Malan is relishing the “challenge” of taking on England as the sides prepare for their first World Cup meeting in 11 years.

On that occasion, Ireland claimed what might still be the biggest win in their history as Kevin O’Brien clattered the fastest ODI World Cup century off just 50 balls to down England by three wickets.
