Ireland has named uncapped players Stephen Doheny and Conor Olphert in its 14-member squad for the upcoming two-match T20I series against India to be played in Malahide at the end of this month.

Doheny and Olphert, who were recently handed retainer contracts by Cricket Ireland, have earned call-ups for the two T20Is against India, on the back of their impressive performances in the domestic circuit.

The squad will be led by regular skipper Andrew Balbirnie and his side features a good mix of young and experienced talents, including the likes of Paul Stirling – Ireland's top batter in the ICC T20I Rankings.
