Irish Universities have named their squad for this week's matches at Fenners against Cambridge and Scottish Universities on June 14th and 15th.

Trinity College players dominate the 13-man squad with seven of the thirteen selected from the University, including captain Sanil Gupta.

UCD have three representatives, TUD one, and the Ulster University has two - Paddy Beverland and Jonathan Waite.

"It’s a strong team that we’re bringing over to Cambridge and we’re all really excited for it," captain Sanil Gupta told CricketEurope. 

‘"t will be a nice challenge to play against both Cambridge and the Scottish Universities but we’re looking forward to showcasing our abilities against both.

"The team has been selected based on form in the recent inter-varsities tournament so we’re hoping to carry that into the Hone McGregor Trophy matches.

"Theo Dempsey has been in fantastic form with the new ball and is my player to watch for the tournament."
