William Porterfield will lead a 14-man Ireland squad on the one-Test tour of England later in July, Ireland Cricket announced on Monday July 8,2019.
The one-off four-day game is scheduled for 24 -27 July at the iconic Lord's in London and will be preceded by a two-day warm-up match against Middlesex 2nd XI on July 18-19.
Pacers Mark Adair and Craig Young and wicketkeeper Gary Wilson have been called up for the one-off Test.
Meanwhile, left-arm spinner George Dockrell, who was dropped from the squad for the just-concluded ODI series against Zimbabwe, has been left out again.
Also missing out from the 15-man squad that toured India for Ireland's last Test assignment against Afghanistan is fellow left-arm spinner James Cameron-Dow, wicketkeeper-bat Stuart Poynter and seamer Barry McCarthy.
This will be Ireland's only third Test, and first at the historic venue in London.
The game will also serve as practice for the hosts who are due to compete in Ashes, starting August 1,2019
England had previously toured Ireland for a one-off ODI, just ahead of the ongoing World Cup in the UK, and won the game by four wickets
