Kevin O'Brien hit the fastest century in World Cup history he scored a 50-ball hundred against England in the 2011 World Cup
It doesn't matter, against Ireland or England, we have to play good cricket and that will give us confidence, and make our youngsters to do well in the England series.
History will be made at Malahide when Ireland faces Pakistan on Friday and become the 11th country to feature in Test cricket.
Ahead of their Test debut against Pakistan on Friday, Cricket Ireland chief executive Warren Deutrom has expressed his country's willingness to tour the Asian country after revisiting the security situation with the International Cricket Council's (ICC) security team. Among bowlers, Murtagh goes in with the considerable experience of having taken 712 wickets in 210 first-class matches.
The European side will become the first to debut in Tests since Bangladesh did so in November 2000 against India, after being awarded Full Member status last June along with Afghanistan. But we wouldn't anticipate playing more than one or two Test matches at home per year, probably up until 2022. Meanwhile, Joyce, who has also represented England in white-ball cricket, is Ireland's most experienced batsman with 254 first-class matches under his belt.
"We played our first match against Kent and they (Imam and Sami) both played together so we saw who was playing well", added the wicket-keeper.
It's now six north west players in the squad as Young joins, Andy McBrine, Stuart Thompson, William Porterfield, Niall O'Brien and Boyd Rankin.
Pakistan have named five uncapped players in their squad for the Test in the form of Faheem Ashraf, Imam-ul-Haq, Saad Ali, Fakhar Zaman and Usman Salahuddin.

Asad Shafiq (joint 25th) and captain Sarfraz Ahmed (32nd) are the others in the top-50 while upcoming left-hander Sami Aslam would be hoping to improve his position of 74th on the table.
They will be without Yasir Shah who has been ruled out of the Ireland and England tour due to a hip bone injury.
"Cricket is a amusing game and you can't take any side lightly", Imam said.
"We've been working hard, as a subcontinent nation it's difficult to perform over here in England and Ireland".
"It is a big honour for me and my team to play this historic Test match - the first Test match to be played in Ireland".
Imam has already played four ODIs, scoring a century on debut against Sri Lanka a year ago, and he is set to slot into the top three of the Test side.
Having tied with Zimbabwe in their opening fixture, Ireland turned up on St Patrick's Day in Kingston, Jamaica, to see a green pitch for their match against Pakistan, and a sea of green in the crowd as thousands of Irish fans took over the Sabina Park ground.
