Fast bowler John Mooney comes back to the Irish side alongside their skipper Kevin O’Brien, spinner George Dockrell and pacer Max Sorensen. Unfortunately, their opener Ed Joyce will not be available for this series. On the other hand, Scotland with no surprise will be counting on Majid Haq and Richie Berrington for their experience. This ODI series will be a good tour for both the teams as they can select their final team before they set off for Australia and New Zealand for the ICC World Cup.
