Ireland all-rounder Fionn Hand has been drafted into the three squads to play Bangladesh in a seven-match tour starting next week.

The 24-year-old Dubliner replaces the unavailable Josh Little in the one-day international squad and Conor Olphert, who is injured, in the T20 panel.

Hand is added to the Test squad, with the 4-8 April game in Dhaka completing the tour.

The teams will also compete in three ODIs and three T20 encounters.

Ireland will return to Test cricket for the first time since July 2019 when they take on Bangladesh.

It will be the first Test between the two sides.
