Overview

• Mahmood has been ruled out of the Ireland T20Is and October’s New Zealand white-ball tour as he undergoes minor knee surgery.
• Currie, 24, joins the squad as Mahmood’s replacement after playing three ODIs for Scotland earlier this year through his father’s eligibility.
• The Hampshire quick earned selection off a standout summer, taking 27 wickets in the T20 Blast and impressing in The Hundred.
• England’s three-match T20 series in Ireland begins on 17 September in Malahide with a deliberately rotated squad.
• Jacob Bethell is set to captain the side, with several senior white-ball players, including Harry Brook, rested for the short tour.
