Ireland men’s national team selector Andrew White commented, “We come T20 World CupTo say we are looking forward to it would be an understatement, after a memorable tournament in 2022, we were probably not at our best in 2024 and are very keen to improve from then on. Over the last 18 months, we have experimented with different strategies, roles and team combinations and we are more than happy to have the team in good shape ahead of the tournament.”

Ireland’s squad includes 22-year-old top-order batsman and off-spinner Tim Tector, 23-year-old left-arm middle-order batsman Ben Kallitz and left-arm spinner Matthew Humphries. White added that the addition of new players creates a “more dynamic nature” in the team.
