England rests senior players for three-match ODI series against Ireland

England will feature a restructured squad for the upcoming three-game women's ODI series against Ireland, which begins in Derby on Tuesday. Several senior figures, including captain Nat Sciver-Brunt, Sophie Ecclestone, Lauren Bell, and Amy Jones, have been rested to aid recovery and expand the team's talent pool. Charlie Dean will continue as captain for the series, supported by a squad that includes uncapped wicketkeeper-batter Kira Chathli. Alice Capsey is expected to take the wicketkeeping duties for the opening match, marking a potential shift in roles within the side. Following the opener at Derby, the series continues in Leicester on Thursday before concluding in Worcester on Sunday.
