England, June 18: Guy Fordham has pulled out of the England hockey squad for this weekend's three Test matches in Ireland. The Guildford player is ruled out of the games at University College, Dublin with a badly bruised knee.
His place goes to Teddington's Rob Moore, who had been chosen for the provisional 20-man squad - but was omitted from the final party on Thursday. England won their last three-match series against Ireland 2-0 in Cannock two weeks ago.
