true.
not sure picking a strong team will be beneficial for england anyway.
most likely players won't be happy to come back early plus england won't learn anything with buttler, hales, roy etc playing.
they are more likely to learn more if some of the successful north/south players play for England.
Really England should be doing what india does when it tours Zimbabwe every year or bangladesh for ODI, pick a fringe team with senior players rested.
essentially used to pick out squad member or future players and makes the games more closer and watchable not sure people would watch it if England are thrashing ireland easily.
