BAN v IRL 2025: Ireland Picked Uncapped Players For Bangladesh Tour

Five uncapped players got their first-ever call-ups as part of Ireland's Test squad announcement for the upcoming two-match Test series against Bangladesh, which aims to develop a new generation of red-ball talent. The team, captained by Andrew Balbirnie, is a mix of young players and seasoned players as Ireland gets ready for their first Test series in Bangladesh.

Five Uncapped Players 

• Right-arm pacer Tom Mayes, who has demonstrated reliability at home, is anticipated to strengthen the pace attack in conjunction with Mark Adair and Josh Little.
• Another fast bowler, Graham Hume, contributes precision and control, which are essential in subcontinental settings.
• A talented batter named Morgan Topping has received notice for his strong Inter-Provincial Championship run.
• Gareth Delany, who is more well-known for his white-ball successes, has the chance to modify his aggressive style for Test cricket.
• Ireland's bowling options gain depth via the addition of Matthew Foster, a young bowler with raw pace.

 

This is the Second Test Series that Ireland Will Play against a full-member team

Since gaining full-member status in 2017, Ireland has only participated in a small number of Test matches; their most recent match under red balls was against Zimbabwe earlier this year.

 As a result, the upcoming Bangladesh series is viewed as a crucial chance to improve their Test setup's depth and consistency.
