England hopeful Josh Tongue says he can bring pace to bowling attack after call up for Ireland Test

Josh Tongue has vowed to bring an injection of speed to England's bowling attack if his return from injury hell includes a Test debut against Ireland.

The uncapped Worcestershire seamer, 25, has been added to the squad for next week's match at Lord's, with James Anderson (groin) and Ollie Robinson (sore ankle) unlikely to be risked.

Tongue missed 15 months of cricket between 2021 and 2022 due to a right shoulder problem which required two operations, but he is fit again now and has picked up 11 wickets in four County Championship matches this term, including Australia's Steve Smith in the fixture versus Sussex.
