International Rules manager John O'Keefe has named a large preliminary squad of 67 players for the series against Australia in October.
The squad, which will be reduced to a travelling party of 26 after the All-Ireland has been completed, will be captained by Kerry's Seamus Moynihan for the second time.
His fellow Kerryman, Tadhg Kennelly, will also be involved. Kennelly currently plies his trade with the Sydney Swans in the Australian Rules and will complete the 27-man panel.
Ireland, who relinquished the title when losing both Tests at Croke Park last Autumn, face the Aussies in Perth and Melbourne on October 24th and 31st.
