Ireland have recalled wicketkeeper-batsman Gary Wilson to their squad for Friday's one-day international against England at Malahide.

Wilson, 33, missed the games against Afghanistan earlier this year with a problem that affected his vision but will return against Eoin Morgan's men, alongside all-rounder Stuart Thompson.

Fellow keeper-batsman Lorcan Tucker, plus left-arm quick Josh Little could make their ODI debuts against England after being included in a 14-man squad.

The game - which will be Ireland's 10th meeting with England in the ODI format - is live on Sky Sports Cricket from 10.30am on Friday.

"The return of Gary Wilson to the squad is a boost, adding lower order experience, and Stuart Thompson's all-round seam bowling gives us options," said Andrew White, Ireland's Chair of Selectors ahead of the match in Dublin.

"Josh gives us that left-arm pace variation and he has continued to impress with some consistent performances - we believe he can transfer his T20 skills into the one-day arena.

"As for Lorcan, fans of Irish cricket have seen some stellar performances by him over the first few months of the year.

"While he has been on our radar and around the senior squad in recent times, we've started to see greater confidence and consistency in his approach."
