Six of England's Ashes winning players are fuming after they were made to fly to Ireland for a one-off one dayer against the minnows at Stormont on Thursday.
According to a report in The Sun, Paul Collingwood - who will lead England after regular skipper Andrew Strauss decided to take a break - Jonathan Trott, Matt Prior, Stuart Broad, Graeme Swann and Jimmy Anderson are unhappy that they would have to travel and play an ODI in the same week after their Ashes victory.

The cricketers have a packed schedule ahead as they play two Twenty20 matches and seven ODIs against Australia in the next three weeks before flying to South Africa for the Champions Trophy.
The England and Wales Cricket Board, however, has made it a point to play Ireland and Scotland in alternate years.
