Ben Calitz has earned a maiden call-up in Ireland’s T20I squad in what will be a historic moment for his team, with them hosting England for a T20I series for the first time.
Calitz, 23, has represented Canada at the Under-19 level before being selected for the Ireland Wolves tour to UAE in April 2025.
Paul Stirling will lead the 14-member squad, but notable names like Mark Adair, Josh Little, Fionn Hand, who are still working through rehabilitation programmes will miss the series due to injury.
Ireland squad for England T20Is: Paul Stirling (captain), Ross Adair, Ben Calitz, Curtis Campher, Gareth Delany, George Dockrell, Graham Hume, Matthew Humphreys, Barry McCarthy, Jordan Neil, Harry Tector, Lorcan Tucker, Ben White, Craig Young
