Cricket Ireland have announced a 15-player squad who will travel to England in late May for a three-day first class match against Essex ahead of the Test match against England Men on 1-4 June 2023.

The 15-strong team is led by Andrew Balbirnie, including some veteran activists and Irish regulars such as Mark Addair, George Dockrell, Harry Tector and Lorcan Tucker. The team has a lone spinner in the form of Andy McBrine, with national selector Andrew White citing conditions at Lord's, the venue of the Test.

Senior pacer Craig Young, who has played 90 international white ball games, has been called up to the squad and could make his Test debut at Lord's.

However, Josh Little, who had returned from the IPL to play in the Bangladesh series, was rested for the Test considering he will have white-ball commitments in the near future.

"Although the IPL will be over, we are very aware that Josh Little needs to rest, recover and prepare for what will be a busy and important summer for us in white ball cricket," said Men's National Selector Andrew White Ireland, called.

Andrew McBrine and George Dockrell are the only spinners, while there are a handful of quicks to choose from for Red Ball play.

"The squad is in a familiar form but given the progress and performances in Bangladesh and Sri Lanka - particularly with the racquet - the players have done well and can take a measure of confidence in Lords," White said.

"It's great news that we can welcome players like Craig Young and Conor Olphert back to the setup and the next few weeks will be important for both of these guys as they increase their workload ahead of this Red Ball series."

This is the second time Ireland have played England in a friendly. When those teams met at Lord's in 2019, Ireland were sensational on the ball, knocking England out for 85 in the first innings. However, they succumbed to a 143-run loss after being bowled for 38 in the second innings.
