ODI World Cup champions England will continue their road to defending their crown at the ICC ODI Cricket World Cup 2023 next month as they take on Ireland in a three-match ODI series at home beginning with the first match at Headingley in Leeds on Wednesday. England are coming into this series with a 3-1 ODI series win over New Zealand last week.
Ireland, on the other hand, have failed to qualify for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 which will begin in India next month. Former England captain Joe Root, who was initially not selected for this series, had requested inclusion for this series at the last moment as he was in poor form in the New Zealand ODI series.
The England team will be led by Test opener Zak Crawley and both skipper and his Ashes opening partner Ben Duckett are expected to slip into the middle-order. England have rested most of their first-choice World Cup stars for this series.
Delhi Capitals glovesman Phil Salt, who is a T20 World Cup 2022 winner, will be opening the innings with all-rounder Will Jacks.
