Dockrell Returns for Australia, South Africa ODIs

Dublin: George Dockrell returns to the Ireland squad for the upcoming ICC InterContinental Cup clash against Hong Kong, and also for the one-day internationals in South Africa next month.

The 24 year-old left-arm spinner replaces Stuart Poynter for the four-day game at Stormont, but Poynter is included in the ODI squad which will face South Africa and Australia in Benoni next month.

Despite only turning 24 last month, Dockrell has taken 218 wickets in 146 matches for Ireland - his best bowling return of 6 for 39 coming in the InterContinental Cup against The Netherlands in 2013.

Ireland have won their three games in the competition to date, and currently occupy second place in the table - one point behind leaders Afghanistan.

Ireland have also named their ODI squad for the games in Benoni against hosts South Africa and Australia.

The selectors have opted to keep the squad which played this week against Pakistan with one addition - as Dockrell is again recalled.

Cricket Ireland will announce the squad for the two T20 internationals against Hong Kong on Tuesday.

Intercontinental Cup Squad - at Stormont, August 30-September 2.
William Porterfield (Captain), John Anderson, Peter Chase, George Dockrell, Ed Joyce, Tim Murtagh, Andrew McBrine, Barry McCarthy, Kevin O’Brien, Niall O’Brien, Paul Stirling, Gary Wilson, Craig Young
