Tom Banton and Reece Topley on Monday were included in England's 14-member squad for the three-match ODI series against Ireland. The side would be led by Eoin Morgan while Moeen Ali will be the vice-captain. All the three ODIs will be played at the Ageas Bowl in Southampton behind closed doors, in a bio-secure environment.

England's selectors have also named three reserves for the series against Ireland. "We are developing excellent strength in depth in white-ball cricket. Even though a number of Test players are unavailable, there is great competition for places, as we have seen during the intra-squad matches and the England Lions warm-up match," James Taylor, England selector said in an official statement.

"There are a number of players who'll feel unlucky not to have made the final squad and that says a lot about how many players we currently have pushing hard for selection at the highest level," he added.
