James Nolan will spearhead a 21-strong Irish team for next month's whistle-stop Eastern European tour of Latvia.
The Waterford athlete has been training in South Africa for the past six months and reaped the rewards of that programme with a sixth place finish in the World Indoor Championships two months ago.
Nolan plans to compete in the Europa Cup a fortnight later and will compete over 800m in Latvia to improve his speed for that event.
David McCarthy, another finalist at the World Indoors in Birmingham, leads the 400m challenge and is joined by Tomas Coman and Rob Daly.
The management team have put forward a strong sprint team with Paul Brizzell, Gary Ryan, Tom Comyns and John McAdorey all having competed at the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
Ciara Sheehy, another finalist in Birmingham, drives a powerful women's team that includes Emily Maher, Joanne Cuddihy, Freda Davoren and Derval O'Rourke. Team Ireland:
