Ireland has announced 14-member squads for their upcoming home ODI and T20I series against West Indies in June. Paul Stirling will lead both teams, with several new players earning maiden call-ups including Cade Carmichael and Tom Mayes in ODI and Liam McCarthy in T20I.
The ODI squad will miss experienced pacer Mark Adair due to injury, though he is expected to return for the T20I series.

"Selection decisions for these two series were challenging, given the growing depth of talent we have in Ireland," said Andrew White, Ireland's national men's team selector.
White further explained the selection of newcomers: "Cade Carmichael has been in the pathway for several years now. His talent, stroke play, and resilience were on full display for the Wolves in April, and his rise over the last couple of years is a real demonstration of how consistent performances - and his ability to adapt his game to conditions - have been recognised with an International call-up. In a similar vein, two seam bowlers - Liam McCarthy and Tom Mayes - have also been recognised for consistency and demonstrating the ability to step their game up a level at each time of asking."
