Liam Cahill says difficult decisions had to be made when selecting players for the Tipperary senior hurling training squad.
The Ballingarry man named a 45-player panel, which will be cut down to 38 ahead of the National Hurling League in late January.
Some experienced players were not included in the squad, such as former young hurler of the year Cathal Barrett, whilst 15 new players were added to the panel.
Speaking on Across The Line here on Tipp FM, Liam Cahill commented on the panel decisions.
“These decisions are difficult.
“I have huge respect for every player that has put on a Tipperary jersey.
“We and I as a manager have to make sure that we’re doing right by the squad going forward heading in to 2025 and that we have the right players that have shown their form through their club to be able to put their hand up and play for Tipperary.
“It’s not for the feint hearted anymore as regards what is required to play at this level and we need to be make sure that everybody is fully 100% committed to be able to do what is required to come to the levels that are needed.”
