Ireland have been able to pick a squad of 13 women from an almost full-strength pool of players ahead of matches against England and India.

Ireland will take on world champions England, challengers India as well as the England Academy over three days at Lougborough from 22nd to 24th June.

"This is the first time this season we’ve nearly had a full squad to choose from and there’s no doubt It will be a good test for us firstly against England Academy and then against the English and Indian women’s senior sides," coach Jeremy Bray said.

Ireland take on England Academy on 22nd June, England on 23rd and India one day later.

Ireland Women: Isobel Joyce (captain), Laura Cullen, Laura Delany, Emma Flanagan, Kim Garth, Cecelia Joyce, Shauna Kavanagh, Louise McCarthy, Rebecca Rolfe, Melissa Scott-Hayward, Clare Shillington, Elena Tice, Mary Waldron
