Compared to the squad for the World Cup in India, England’s squad to face the Irish was entirely different.

Despite a low scoring run in the series against New Zealand, Yorkshire batter Root will play on Wednesday.

The desire to keep wanting to do more is great,” said England selector Luke Wright.

Before England’s 3-1 series win over the Black Caps, Root had not played 50-over cricket for more than a year.

Six, nought, four, and 29 were the scores of the former Test captain.

Wright explained that he just wanted a bit more time. It shows what makes him a world-class player that he still wants to tinker and do more, even when he isn’t feeling well.

The lads in that squad can learn from Joe and see how he goes about his business.” Zak Crawley captains England against Ireland for the first time. Four uncapped players are included in the squad.

In place of Jason Roy, Harry Brook will rest after being promoted to the World Cup squad in place of Root.

A member of the England team that won the World Cup in 2019, Roy was initially part of the squad to defend the trophy in India.

He missed all of the series against New Zealand due to a back injury. Dawid Malan replaced Roy at the top of the order with 54, 96, and 127 scores.

Having Roy unlikely to be in the starting lineup, Brook gave England more versatility as a spare batter.

According to Wright, Jason probably only covers us for an opener. “Harry provides us with a great cover from number one to number six.”.

In English cricket, there are a lot of tough decisions to make, as is evident in this decision.
