Ireland skipper Andrew Balbirnie might be rested for this week’s T20 sequence towards Bangladesh and might be changed by vice-captain Paul Stirling, selectors stated Sunday.
“We flagged before the tour that there may be an element of player rotation this year due to the anticipated volume of cricket we will be playing,” coach Heinrich Malan stated.
“I see it is an essential part of squad and player management that we give our leading players adequate down time for their physical and mental health,” Malan stated in a press release.
The three T20s start in Chittagong on Monday. Bangladesh took the previous ODI sequence 2-0. The two groups can even play a one-off Test in early April.
Ireland squad: Paul Stirling (capt), Mark Adair, Ross Adair, Curtis Campher, Gareth Delany, George Dockrell, Fionn Hand, Graham Hume, Matthew Humphreys, Tom Mayes, Harry Tector, Lorcan Tucker, Ben White, Craig Young.
