DUBLIN, Ire­land – Sev­er­al fresh faces are among a 14-mem­ber Ire­land squad an­nounced on Wednes­day for the up­com­ing Twen­ty20 In­ter­na­tion­al (T20I) and One Day In­ter­na­tion­al (ODI) se­ries against West In­dies.

Ire­land will host three ODIs and three T20Is from May 21 to June 15.

Paul Ster­ling will lead both teams that fea­ture mul­ti­ple new names, in­clud­ing 22-year-old top-or­der bat­ter Cade Carmichael and 24-year-old pac­er Tom Mayes, who have re­ceived maid­en call-ups in the ODI squad.

Mean­while, pac­er Liam Mc­Carthy, who is yet to make his in­ter­na­tion­al de­but, has been named in the T20I squad.

How­ev­er, Ire­land will be with­out the ser­vices of ex­pe­ri­enced pac­er Mark Adair dur­ing the open­ing ODI se­ries, with the quick still re­cov­er­ing from an in­jury.

He is ex­pect­ed to be avail­able for the sub­se­quent T20I se­ries.

On the new­com­ers in the squad, An­drew White, Ire­land’s na­tion­al men’s team se­lec­tor, said those play­ers had been knock­ing at the door with con­sis­tent per­for­mances.

“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, and 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,” White said.

“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.”
