Caelan Doris will captain Ireland in next month’s autumn series with regular skipper Peter O’Mahony not yet back to full fitness.
Leinster back row Doris, 26, previously stood in as captain for Ireland’s Six Nations win over Italy in February and the epic summer tour victory over South Africa in Durban.
Flanker O’Mahony, 35, is currently out with a hamstring injury he picked up in Munster’s win over Ospreys on 5 October but has been named in the 35-man Ireland squad.
With first-choice hooker Dan Sheehan out until the new year, head coach Andy Farrell has included Connacht’s Dave Heffernan in the squad.
Hookers Ronan Kelleher and Rob Herring have also been selected despite their recent injury troubles while Leinster’s uncapped Gus McCarthy is one of five training panellists.
