Leinster Lightning have named strong squads for the opening Hanley-Energy Inter-Provincial Championship match of the season starting on Tuesday and their home T20 tie with the North-West Warriors later in the week.
Three of the Championship squad will be very familiar with their surroundings, with Clontarf trio Andrew Poynter, Bill Coghlan and Eoghan Delany all in the squad to play at their home ground.

With several players including Kenny Carroll and the Tucker brothers out of the three-day Championship game due to work or education commitments, and Kevin O’Brien playing for Leicestershire in the Twenty20 Blast the selectors did not have a full strength squad to pick from, but there is no doubting the strength of the Lightning.

Alex Cusack will return to action for the Lightning in the T20 clash on Friday night after not making an appearance during 2014 due to injury. He is joined in the squad by Kenny Carroll and Fiachra Tucker, with Coghlan, Simmi Singh and Joe Carroll dropping out of the Championship squad to make way for the trio.
