IRELAND have included three uncapped players in their One Day International (ODI) squad to face the West Indies next week.
Opener Cade Carmichael joins seamers Tom Mayes and Liam McCarthy in a 14-strong squad that will take on the tourists at Clontarf in a three-match series which runs from Wednesday to Sunday.
All three were part of the Ireland Wolves side that finished runners-up in last month’s tri-series against Sri Lanka and Afghanistan.
Mark Adair has not been passed fit for the one-day leg but has been named for the subsequent T20 series in Bready.
National selector Andrew White said: “Cade Carmichael has been in the pathway for several years now. His talent, stroke play and resilience were on full display for the Wolves in April.
“His rise over the last couple of years is a real demonstration of how consistent performances — and his ability to adapt his game to conditions — have been recognised with an international call-up.
“In a similar vein, two seam bowlers — Liam McCarthy and Tom Mayes — have also been recognised for consistency and demonstrating the ability to step their game up a level at each time of asking.
“While we’re disappointed that Mark Adair is not quite there yet in his return-to-play plan and will miss the ODIs, we do have hopes that he will be ready for the T20I series next month.”
