DUBLIN (Ireland): It has been confirmed by Cricket Ireland that India will play a three-match T20I series against Ireland later this year, announced ICC on Tuesday.
Details of the series were finalised on Tuesday 27 June, with India set to return to Ireland after their entertaining tour of the country back in 2022.
All three matches will be held at Malahide, on the outskirts of Dublin, between August 18 and 23.
The series comes immediately after the conclusion of India’s all-format tour of the West Indies in July and August.
“We are delighted to welcome India Men back to Ireland for the second time in 12 months,” Warren Deutrom, Chief Executive of Cricket Ireland said in a statement as quoted by ICC.
“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.”
“Our sincere thanks to the BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India), 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 a possible – having matches on a Friday and Sunday will hopefully maximise the availability of fans,” he concluded.
