England has summoned the Centurion of the Tournament for their T20I series against Ireland
England Announces Squad for T20I Series Against Ireland
England has announced its squad for the upcoming T20I series against Ireland, scheduled to run from September 17-21. The squad includes several familiar faces and some exciting new talents.
Jamie Overton, an all-rounder, has been included in the squad, joining the likes of Zak Crawley, Will Jacks, and Tom Banton in the batting department. On the bowling front, Luke Wood, Matthew Potts, Sonny Baker, Saqib Mahmood, Adil Rashid, and Tom Hartley will be vying for crucial overs.
One of the standout inclusions is Jordan Cox, who had a stellar performance in the Hundred tournament. Cox, a batter and wicketkeeper, finished the competition as the leading run-scorer with 367 runs, breaking the tournament record for most sixes in a single innings with an impressive 10 maximums. His score of 86 off just 29 balls against Welsh Fire was a testament to his power and precision.
Jos Buttler, the top run-scorer in the Hundred besides Cox, will also be part of the squad, adding depth to the batting order. Phil Salt, another wicketkeeper, completes the wicketkeeping contingent.
The T20I series will be led by Jacob Bethell, who was recently appointed as the captain for this series. The captaincy of England's T20I team for this series is not explicitly stated in the provided information, but based on recent leadership trends, it could likely be a current England T20I captain such as Jos Buttler.
Liam Dawson, an all-rounder, and Rehan Ahmed, another all-rounder making his international debut, round off the squad.
The England team is currently engaged in a three-match ODI series against South Africa before the T20I series against Ireland. The upcoming T20I series promises to be an exciting affair, with both teams eager to showcase their skills.
