Ben White is called up for the maiden ODI in Ireland’s USA, WI tour

Following his T20I debut against South Africa, Ben White, the legspinner, was called up to Ireland’s ODI squad.

On Thursday, November 25, Ireland named a 15-man team for the three-match ODI series in December against the USA and the World Cup Super League series in January against West Indies. A squad of 15 was also selected for the T20Is against West Indies and the USA. Josh Little will be absent from the T20I leg against the USA to take part in the Lanka Premier League. Little will however join the squad prior to the ODI series against the USA and remain on until the end West Indies tour.

Andrew White, Chair of National Men’s Selectors, stated that “the selectors had to make some difficult decisions as they look to move men’s squad forward in the T20 format — however, what has influenced us thinking behind some key selection decision is the proximity to T20 World Cup Qualifier early 2022.” We had hoped to avoid the T20 World Cup by advancing to the Super 12 stage. However, our transition and succession planning timelines were shortened. The USA and West Indies tour is now more important than ever. We also feel more urgent about some of the tactical changes that we must make.

Kevin O’Brien was omitted from this tour, which has been one of the most difficult selection decisions. Kevin O’Brien has been an integral part of our senior squads over many years and has played a crucial role in the T20 format’s top order in recent years. The T20 World Cup Qualifier is just around the corner and the Selectors are looking to change the dynamic at the top of our order and allow for greater power-hitting potential within the middle order.

The statistics aren’t lying – we have struggled for some time with boundary and six-hitting in T20Is, especially outside of the powerplay. We have seen the ways that the top sides can score faster and get to the boundaries in the last overs of an innings. Unfortunately, we lack that ability in recent years. We also need to be able to get the ropes clear. This is why Shane Getkate and William McClintock have been brought back to help us improve the middle order. We will also re-jig our batting order at the top with Andrew Balbirnie as Paul Stirling’s opening pair.

“The selection of Ben White to the ODI squad is a vote for confidence in the young leg spinner’s talent. We see him adding variety for Andrew Balbirnie.

In due course, the dates for the West Indies tour are going to be announced.
