Ireland unveils squad for their first-ever Test against Zimbabwe

Dublin, July 17: Ireland’s national men’s selector, Andrew White confirmed a 14-member squad for the one-off Zimbabwe Test in a press conference on Wednesday.

While the squad has a familiar look, spinners Matthew Humphreys and Gavin Hoey are key additions to the red-ball team for the one-off Test match.

“Humphreys made his Test debut in Sri Lanka and found the going difficult against good players of spin out in the subcontinent. He would admit to himself that he went through a period of a loss of form and maybe a loss of confidence, but he’s worked extremely hard to come back into the reckoning,” White said, as quoted by the ICC.
