Apparently Hohns has came out and said the 16 man Squad will consist of:-
Smith & Warner + 5
2 Wicket Keepers (so Paine = Carey/Handscomb/Wade
5 Fast Bowlers
2 Spinners (no idea what purpose Holland will serve)
so at least 1 of the 6 incumbents against Sri Lanka will miss out
interesting 2 weeks ahead

was just looking at some T20 records
R Sandaruwan 103 59 10 5 174.57 Kuwait v Bahrain Al Amerat 23 Jan 2019 T20I # 726
Awais Ahmed 102* 64 5 6 159.37 Spain v Malta Cartagena 30 Mar 2019 T20I # 765
Awais Ahmed has played 2 x T20I, did not bat in his first game, opened the batting in his second and could have become the first ever batsmen to score a century on debut in a T20I
Spain are 1 of 4 teams who have a 100% winning record along with Belize (3 games) , Namibia (3) , Samoa (1) and Spain (2)

England's likely Test team v Ireland (officially announced today)
Burns
Roy
Denly
Root
Stokes
Buttler
Bairstow (or Foakes)
Moeen Ali
Woakes
Curran , S
Broad
* Anderson , Archer , Wood under injury clouds.
Desperately need to find a specialist 4-6 so Root can Bat 3, unless they play Bairstow as a specialist Bat & Foakes keeps.
Surely they have a better spinner than Moeen Ali ?

There you go, Leach is the other spinner in that squad. Do remember his name being bandied about 5 years ago, but he never really got an opportunity. Pretty sure he’s a left arm off spinner.
Looks like they’ve gone for Bairstow as their keeper in the one off test as well. Means that Woakes probably bats 7. They look quite thin in the batting. Could be a very interesting match if Ireland come to play and the English bowlers are off their game.

5 Bat , 6 Fast , 2 Spin
very reliant on Moeen , Woakes , Curran at 6-8.
Burns 6 Tests @ 25.00
Roy yet to play
Denly 2 Tests @ 28.00
Root ✓
Bairstow ✓
Moeen Ali
Woakes
Curran
Broad
Leach
Anderson
Gregory , Stone
they want to be careful with Anderson if he is not 100%
love to see Ireland put up a great fight , pity they did not get Test status 4-5 years ago when Joyce , O'Brien (x2) etc were in their prime.
At least England have given them a Test , we were supposed to play them as well but cancelled.
Leach , left arm orthodox played 4 tests for 20 wickets.
