Tom Kohler-Cadmore has replaced Joe Root in England's squad for the remainder of the ODI Series against Ireland.

Former England captain Root has been rested in the build-up to the Men's ODI World Cup, which begins on 5 October in India.

England's first ODI with Ireland at Headingley on Wednesday was abandoned without play due to rain.

Kohler-Cadmore, who has impressed for Somerset this season, could make his debut at Trent Bridge on Saturday in the second of three matches against Ireland, which is set to conclude at the Seat Unique Stadium in Bristol on Tuesday 26 September.

Former World Cup winner Jason Roy turned down the opportunity to play in the final two games after he was dropped from England's World Cup squad in favour of new captain Harry Brook.

Roy was given the chance to play against Ireland to prove his fitness and push his claim to be a World Cup reserve.
