Ireland has announced a squad of 15 players for their forthcoming tour of Namibia and Kenya but have injury worries over a number of players.

Andrew White (finger) and Kevin O'Brien (back) will undergo fitness tests next week to see if they are fit to tour.

Former skipper Trent Johnston has made himself available for the trip, including the one-day internationals with Kenya and Zimbabwe.

Eoin Morgan is not named due to injury problems and Middlesex county duties.

John Mooney returns to the squad after a self-imposed exile and Phil Eaglestone is back after injury.

Regan West retains his place after making his debut at Stormont in the abandoned one-day international with Kenya.

Gary Kidd, Thinus Fourie, Paul Stirling and Reinhardt Strydom miss out on selection, although they are on standby should there be any late withdrawals.


Ireland squad: W Porterfield, A Botha, P Connell, A Cusack, P Eaglestone, T Johnston, K McCallan, J Mooney, K O'Brien, N O'Brien, A Poynter, B Rankin, R West, A White, G Wilson.
