  "account": "Charlie Dean will captain England's one-day international series against Ireland in September, while regular captain Nat Sciver-Brunt and several other senior players will be rested. Sophie Ecclestone, Lauren Bell, and Amy Jones will also miss the three-match series. Danni Wyatt-Hodge and Sciver-Brunt are absent due to fitness and recovery concerns. England has included two uncapped players, seam bowler Grace Potts, and wicketkeeper Kira Chathli. All-rounder Charis Pavely, who may make her 50-over debut, is also selected. Pace bowler Ryana MacDonald-Gay, last seen playing for England in the Ashes early 2025, is included, as well as 18-year-old spinner Tilly Corteen-Coleman, who recently had the best wicket-taking season in this year's Hundred. Head coach Charlotte Edwards emphasized the importance of the series to complete the summer and provide players an opportunity to demonstrate their 50-over skills and gain valuable experience for the future.",
