Cricket Ireland announces three-match T20I schedule against India

Malahide's The Village ground will host all three T20 games between India and Ireland.

Cricket Ireland has officially announced the schedule of their three- t20 series against India in mid-August. India will be traveling to Ireland after finishing off their Caribbean tour. Malahide will be hosting the three-game T20 series starting on the 18th of August. The last game of the T20 series will be played on 23rd August at the same ground in Malahide. Previously, India visited Ireland in 2022 for a T20 series. India decimated Ireland by 2-0 in that tour. India’s West Indies tour will end on 13th August in the USA. Ireland are currently taking part in ICC Cricket World Cup qualifiers in Zimbabwe. They are almost on the verge of being knocked out of the tournament. 

Cricket Ireland’s Chief Executive Warren Deutrom has welcomed India and said, “We are delighted to welcome India men back to Ireland. We saw two sold-out matches in 2022, so to have a three-match series this year should give even more fans the opportunity to enjoy what is always a memorable occasion”. He also thanked the BCCI for including a series with Ireland on their busy schedule. He said, “Our sincere thanks to the BCCI, first, for their continued inclusion of Ireland in the Indian team’s busy itinerary and also for working with us to ensure as fan-friendly a schedule as possible”.
