George Dockrell of Phoenix is the other returning international, adding significantly to the batting, with Chris de Freitas & Séamus Lynch retained from day one.

McCarthy will return to lead a seam bowling unit which includes the options of Reuben Wilson & Melvin Devaraj as well as the new faces to the squad in Matt Hollard & Mark Tonge.

Gavin Hoey and Dylan Lues are the two spin bowling options in the squad.
