England name squads for South Africa & Ireland series

London, Aug 15 (UNI) England have announced their squads for the limited overs series against South Africa and Ireland.

With the red-ball leg of the home summer behind them, England will next feature in three ODIs and as many T20Is against the Proteas starting September 2 in Headingley.

The home series will be followed by a three-match contest against Ireland in Malahide from September 17.

Harry Brook, who was appointed England’s white-ball captain after the ICC Champions Trophy earlier this year, will continue to lead in the home series against South Africa.

A major boost for the hosts comes in the form of pacer Jofra Archer’s inclusion for both the ODI and the T20I series.

Archer had starred for England during the recent five-Test series against India, having made his comeback to the longest format following a four-year hiatus.

Meanwhile, Jacob Bethell has been named skipper for the tour of Ireland, with Brook rested for the three-match T20I series, an ICC report said.
