England have named a 24-man white-ball training squad ahead of the three-ODI series against Ireland.

The group, which will be overseen by Paul Collingwood, will go into camp at the Ageas Bowl on July 16, two weeks ahead of the first scheduled fixture against the Irish at the same venue.

Seven uncapped players - Henry Brookes, Sam Hain, Tom Helm, Brydon Carse, Richard Gleeson, Phil Salt and Laurie Evans - are included in the 24.

World Cup winners Eoin Morgan, Moeen Ali, Jonny Bairstow, Tom Curran, Liam Dawson, Jason Roy, Adil Rashid and James Vince are also selected. A formal squad for the series will be named at a later date.

Three players - Pat Brown, Chris Jordan and Dawid Malan - were not considered for the group due to ongoing injury issues.

The majority of those picked do not feature in the red-ball group, who will relocated to Emirates Old Trafford from Southampton following the conclusion of the first Test against West Indies.

ENGLAND WHITE-BALL TRAINING SQUAD
Eoin Morgan (Middlesex) captain, Moeen Ali (Worcestershire), Jonathan Bairstow (Yorkshire), Tom Banton (Somerset), Sam Billings (Kent), Henry Brookes (Warwickshire), Brydon Carse (Durham), Tom Curran (Surrey), Liam Dawson (Hampshire), Ben Duckett (Nottinghamshire), Laurie Evans (Sussex), Richard Gleeson (Lancashire), Lewis Gregory (Somerset), Sam Hain (Warwickshire), Tom Helm (Middlesex), Liam Livingstone (Lancashire), Saqib Mahmood (Lancashire), Matthew Parkinson (Lancashire), Adil Rashid (Yorkshire), Jason Roy (Surrey), Phil Salt (Sussex), Reece Topley (Surrey), James Vince (Hampshire), David Willey (Yorkshire).

However, Saqib Mahmood - the Lancashire seamer - is included in both. The ECB are to allow some players to “bridge” between bio-secure venues.

Collingwood will act as head coach for the Ireland series. He will be supported by Marcus Trescothick as batting coach, while England Young Lions head coach Jon Lewis and Neil Killeen will join the group to work with the bowlers.

Claude Henderson will work with the spin bowlers, former Sri Lanka coach Jon Lewis joins to help the batsmen, and James Foster will provide advice to the wicketkeepers.

ECB performance director Mo Bobat said: “As was the case with our Test preparations, the support that we have received from counties during our ODI return to training phase has been fantastic.  

“Running concurrent training programmes across formats for a large pool of players has been a novel challenge and we are very appreciative of the commitment that counties have shown towards the national cause, particularly as they have been managing their own return to training.”
