Uncapped legspinner Gavin Hoey earns maiden call-up as Ireland name squad for only Test against Zimbabwe

Ireland have announced their squad for the only Test against Zimbabwe with uncapped leg-spinner Gavin Hoey earning his maiden call-up.

Hoey’s inclusion is set to add strength to Ireland’s spin-bowling attack including off-spinner Andy McBrine and left-arm off-spinner Matthew Humphreys.

Medium pacer Matthew Foster, Theo van Woerkom and George Dockrell have been left out of the squad.

Humphreys experienced baptism of fire on Test debut against Sri Lanka in Galle last year after he was taken for 67 runs in 10 overs and struggled to keep himself away from the firing line.

However, the 21-year-old has been picked based on his recent form which includes 15 scalps in two first-class games for Ireland’s emerging side against West Indies Academy at an average of 12.60.

“Humphreys made his Test debut in Sri Lanka and found the going difficult against good players of spin out in the subcontinent,” Andrew White, the national selector, said in a statement released by Cricket Ireland.
