Ireland names squads for ODI and T20I series against West Indies
Ireland announced the squads for the upcoming One-Day International and T20I series at home against West Indies.
Both the squads will be led by Paul Stirling, and will see a host of new faces. While the 22-year-old top-order batter Cade Carmichael and 24-year-old pacer Tom Mayes have received their maiden call-ups in the ODI squad, fast bowler Liam McCarthy has been named in the T20I lineup.
Ireland, however, will miss experienced pacer Mark Adair during the ODI series, with the right-arm quick likely to return for the T20Is.
The three-match ODI series will begin from May 21 in Clontarf, while the T20Is will start from June 12.

New Zealand women's captain Sophie Devine to retire from ODIs after 2025 ICC World Cup
New Zealand women's cricket captain Sophie Devine said on Tuesday she will retire from One-Day Internationals after the World Cup later this year, adding it was the 'right time' to step away. Devine, who has been captain since 2020, led New Zealand to T20 World Cup glory last year in Dubai. 'It feels like the right time for me to start stepping away,' said the 35-year-old Devine, who has played in 152 ODIs and 146 T20 Internationals.

'I'm really excited by where this young group's going and I'm looking forward to playing my part in the next six to nine months.' Devine, who will remain available to play T20Is, took a break from international cricket earlier this year to prioritise her mental health, having taken two months out in 2021 for similar reasons. The Women's World Cup will be played in India and Sri Lanka from September until November.

Sophie Devine to retire from ODIs after Women's Cricket World Cup; to sign ‘casual playing agreement' with cricket board
New Zealand cricket great Sophie Devine has announced that she will retire from the One-Day International format after the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup later this year. Now 35, Devine has represented the New Zealand national team in 298 international games. She rose to becomes the team's permanent captain in 2020, and has since led the team to new heights, including claiming a bronze medal win at the Birmingham Commonwealth Games in 2022 and a maiden ICC Women's T20 World Cup victory last year. Widely regarded as one of the top allrounders in women's cricket of the current era, Devine has racked up 7,421 runs, including eight ODI centuries and one T20I century. She has also scalped 226 wickets throughout her international career. Devine will lead the White Ferns at the 2025 ICC Women's Cricket World Cup, which starts from September 30. The New Zealand cricket board said that a decision on Devine's successor will be made ahead of the New Zealand home summer. Devine will be signing a 'casual playing agreement' with the national board for the 2025-26 season. Meanwhile the names of the 17 centrally-contracted national team players will be announced on Tuesday. 'It feels like the right time for me to start stepping away,' Devine was quoted as saying by New Zealand cricket board's website. 'I feel very fortunate to have NZC's support in finding a solution that means I can still give to the White Ferns. It's important that everyone knows I'm focused and dedicated to giving this group everything I can before I step away. I'm really excited by where this young group's going and I'm looking forward to playing my part in the next six to nine months.' NZC Head of Women's High Performance Liz Green spoke about how Devine's casual playing agreement would work out. 'Sophie's given nearly 20 years of service to the White Ferns and NZC is fully supportive of her quest to find more balance at this stage in her career,' said Green. 'We're pleased to be able to reach an agreement that means she can continue to be involved with the White Ferns on a case-by-case basis, whilst opening up the opportunity for another player to be contracted in full.' NZC Chief Executive Scott Weenink also praised Devine. 'Sophie has been an extraordinary leader and ambassador for the White Ferns,' he said. 'Supporting her move to a casual playing agreement will allow her to continue contributing to the White Ferns environment. Her legacy as one of the game's greatest allrounders and her commitment to nurturing the next generation makes this a positive step for both her and the White Ferns.'

Bowlers Nightmares: Most Runs Conceded in One T20I Spell, One Indian Bowler In The List; Check Here
photoDetails english 2916976 Updated:Jun 16, 2025, 06:52 PM IST Record Breaking Run Leaks 1 / 8 T20Is are brutal for bowlers, but some days are worse than others. Here are the costliest bowling spells in T20I history ( only from Full Member nations). LIAM MCCARTHY (IRE) 2 / 8 Liam McCarthy conceded 81 runs in 4 overs vs West Indies in Bready, finishing with 0 wickets. It was a forgettable outing for the Irish pacer against a powerful Calypso batting lineup. KASUN RAJITHA (SL) 3 / 8 Kasun Rajitha was taken apart for 75 runs in 4 overs without a wicket against Australia in Adelaide. The Sri Lankan bowler struggled to find his rhythm on a challenging pitch BARRY MCCARTHY (IRE) 4 / 8 Barry McCarthy leaked 69 runs in 4 overs with no wickets against Afghanistan in Greater Noida. It was a belter pitch and bowlers had nothing to offer. PRASIDH KRISHNA (IND) 5 / 8 Prasidh Krishna gave away 68 runs in 4 overs without a wicket vs South Africa in Johannesburg. The Indian pacer faced the full force of the Proteas' hitting. KYLE ABBOTT (SA) 6 / 8 Kyle Abbott conceded 68 runs in 4 overs, but took 1 wicket against Australia in Guwahati. Despite the wicket, it was a challenging day at the office for the South African. Bowling Figures 7 / 8 Liam McCarthy: 4-0-81-0 Kasun Rajitha: 4-0-75-0 Barry McCarthy: 4-0-69-0 Prasidh Krishna: 4-0-68-0 Kyle Abbott: 4-0-68-1 AUSTRALIA : THE COMMON OPPONENT 8 / 8 Australia appears in 3 of these 5 spells, proving again why they're a nightmare for bowlers in T20Is. They have always implented the intentful batting taking on bowlers from powerplay itself.
