Josh Little actually has backing of both Ireland Cricket and captain Andy Balbirnie to skip SL and BD T20Is to play in PSL and IPL. They realized Little will grow better playing in those leagues than playing against BD or SL. It's BCB's shortsightedness that they're depriving our players (especially LKD, who has no exposure to IPL yet) from playing in IPL, and not using the opportunity to try three new players in a home series against Ireland.
Ireland announced their squads -
ODIs and T20Is: Andy Balbirnie (capt), Mark Adair, Curtis Campher, Gareth Delany, George Dockrell, Graham Hume, Matthew Humphreys, Barry McCarthy, Paul Stirling, Harry Tector, Lorcan Tucker (wk), Ben White, Stephen Doheny (ODIs only), Josh Little (ODIs only), Andrew McBrine (ODIs only), Ross Adair (T20Is only), Conor Olphert (T20Is only), Craig Young (T20Is only)
One-off Test: Andy Balbirnie (Capt), Curtis Campher, Murray Commins, George Dockrell, Graham Hume, Matthew Humphreys, Andrew McBrine, Barry McCarthy, James McCollum, Peter Moor (wk), Harry Tector, Lorcan Tucker (wk), Ben White, Mark Adair.
Ex-Zimbabwean international Peter Moor will be included in the Irish Test squad for the first time in this tour.
