Ireland Name Squad for Pakistan ODIs

Dublin: Ireland coach Phil Simmons on Tuesday named an unchanged squad for the two upcoming one-day international matches against Pakistan, who are using the series as a warm-up for the Champions Trophy.

Simmons has kept faith with the squad that moved a step closer to qualifying for the 2015 World Cup with back-to-back wins over United Arab Emirates in March.

Ireland's only 50-over success against Pakistan arrived at the 2007 World Cup but they suffered a 2-0 home series defeat in Belfast two years ago.

They will be without all-rounder John Mooney for the opener on May 23, after he was banned following Twitter comments he made about the death of former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher.
