Ireland have included Paul Stirling in their Test squad to face England next month but have rested Indian Premier League star Josh Little.
Stirling is set to win his fifth cap on his former home ground of Lord’s despite Cricket Ireland previously allowing him to concentrate on limited-overs cricket in 2023.
The 32-year-old returned to the format with a maiden hundred in Sri Lanka a fortnight ago after two one-day internationals were replaced by a second Test between the countries.
Stirling, who spent a decade representing Middlesex at the ground, appeared against England at Lord’s in 2019 when the away side threatened to pull off an historic win before capitulating for 38 in the final innings of the match.
