Ireland have been rewarded for their successful WCL Division 1 defence by having four of their players named in the team of the tournament.

Ireland defeated Scotland by six wickets to seal the title on Saturday and their leader, Trent Johnston, was chosen as captain of the combined squad. Paul Stirling, Kevin O'Brien, and George Dockrell, the 17-year-old left-arm spinner, were the other members of Ireland's team chosen. Mark Jonkman, the Netherlands paceman, was also included despite being reported for a suspect bowling bowling action.

The side was chosen by a panel of experts that included Adrian Griffith, the former West Indies batsman, and Kumar Dharmasena, the Sri Lankan off-spinner who featured in the 1996 World Cup winning side.
