The 30-year-old Willey has now been named in the 14-member squad for the three-match ODI series against Ireland. All the three ODIs will be played at the Ageas Bowl in Southampton behind closed doors, in a bio-secure environment. Willey shared an old picture of him celebrating a wicket (expressing excitement) after he got the call up in England squad.
