Cricket Ireland has confirmed that the side will be up against the Indian in two T20Is scheduled to take place on June 26 and June 28 in Malahide. The Irish team will be playing white-ball fixtures against India, New Zealand, South Africa and Afghanistan over a two-month period.
“This summer will be a ‘Season of Stars’ as India, New Zealand and Afghanistan tour Ireland, while we will play South Africa in Bristol. We’re set for the biggest home international season in Ireland ever!” Cricket Ireland tweeted.
“We are delighted to welcome back India Men’s team for the first time since 2018, as well as the number one-ranked ODI side, the Black Caps, who were last here in 2017,” Warren Deutrom, Chief Executive of Cricket Ireland, said.
“Just as important, given we will shortly be heading to a T20 WC, are the two T20I series against South Africa and Afghanistan. Our thanks goes to Gloucestershire Cricket Club for agreeing to host the South African series.”
Ireland have postponed this year’s tour to Zimbabwe and home series against Bangladesh for 2023.
“Taking all these into consideration, we decided to postpone both this year’s planned tour to Zimbabwe in April and the home Bangladesh series into 2023.”
