The ICU has released the 'A' team squad to play Denmark this weekend, and also The MCC from July 31-August 2.

Andrew White will captain a strong looking squad - 9 of the 13 have senior international experience. The four new faces are Phil Eaglestone, Peter Connell, Andrew Poynter, and Reinhardt Strydom.

Eaglestone has impressed opening the bowling for Strabane in the past two seasons, while Connell has played a pivotal role in the North Down attack.
