Cricket:Andre Botha and Dave Langford-Smith return to the Ireland squad for the forthcoming quadrangular one-day international series featuring West Indies, Scotland and Holland.

The other games will all take place at Civil Service Cricket Ground at Stormont in Belfast, with Ireland playing Holland on Wednesday, Scotland playing The Netherlands next Friday and Ireland hosting Scotland in the final game of the competition on Sunday week.
