James Taylor will captain England when they face Ireland in a one-day international encounter next Friday.

The ECB has confirmed that James Taylor will skipper England during their one-day international clash against Ireland next month.

Taylor, who has made 17 ODI appearances, will lead a squad that contains five players that have never been capped by England in any format.

"To be given the opportunity to lead your country is a huge honour. There are still some very experienced and talented cricketers in that team who I'd have been delighted to have as my captain, so it is a privilege and one I'm going to relish," the 25-year-old told the ECB's official website.

"It's going to be brilliant leading an England team in a one-day international. We know it will be a tough game against Ireland and this match provides a great chance for us all to show we can play a huge role in limited overs cricket in years to come."

Tim Bresnan has also been recalled, while the likes of Zafar Ansari and Lewis Gregory feature for the first time.

England squad to face Ireland: James Taylor (c) (Nottinghamshire), Zafar Ansari (Surrey), Jonathan Bairstow (Yorkshire), Sam Billings (Kent), Tim Bresnan (Yorkshire), Steven Finn (Middlesex), Lewis Gregory (Somerset), Alex Hales (Nottinghamshire), Jason Roy (Surrey), James Vince (Hampshire), David Willey (Northamptonshire)
