Matthew Humphreys back for Ireland’s ODI tour of Namibia

Left-arm spinner Matthew Humphreys has returned to Ireland's squad for their upcoming five-match ODI tour of Namibia later this October. The series in Windhoek marks the first time Ireland will play a men's ODI against Namibia, serving as preparation for next year's 2027 World Cup Qualifier. Humphreys replaces no one from the previous squad, representing the sole addition to an otherwise unchanged group.

Following the Namibia series, Humphreys will also captain the Ireland Wolves on a tour of Zimbabwe in November, featuring two four-day matches and five one-day games. Most players from the senior squad will participate in the Wolves tour, alongside returning fast bowler Josh Little, before several players depart for the ILT20 tournament.
