Curtis Campher returns to Ireland's squad for South Africa ODIs

All-rounder Curtis Campher was named in Ireland's 15-man ODI for the upcoming home series against South Africa

Ireland's all-rounder Curtis Campher has been included in the 15-member squad for the upcoming ODI series against South Africa after recovering from an ankle surgery he underwent in May. South Africa, who are currently touring the West Indies, will begin the tour of Ireland on July 11 at Malahide and play three ODIs and the first T20I before moving to Stormont for the final two games.

"We're delighted to welcome back Curtis Campher from injury - I know he's raring to go after over a month out of the game," selector Andrew White said on Wednesday. 

Ireland are currently tenth in the ICC men's World Cup Super League with two wins from nine matches while South Africa are 12th in the 13-team table with two wins from three matches. The top-10 teams at the end of the 2020-22 cycle will qualify for the 2023 World Cup.

Ireland has included an uncapped William McClintock, Benjamin White and Neil Rock in the T20I side while pacer Shane Getkate, who last played a T20I in March last year was also included.

ODI squad: Andrew Balbirnie (captain), Mark Adair, Curtis Campher, George Dockrell, Graham Kennedy, Josh Little, Andrew McBrine, Graeme McCarter, Barry McCarthy, William Porterfield, Simi Singh, Paul Stirling, Harry Tector, Lorcan Tucker, Craig Young.

T20I squad: Andrew Balbirnie (captain), Mark Adair, George Dockrell, Shane Getkate, Josh Little, Barry McCarthy, William McClintock, Kevin O'Brien, Neil Rock, Simi Singh, Paul Stirling, Harry Tector, Lorcan Tucker, Ben White, Craig Young.
