USA Cricket has announced that it will host Ireland for two T20Is and three ODIs in Lauderhill, Florida, in late December. This would be the first time that the US will host a Test playing nation.
"USA Cricket is absolutely elated to confirm next month's series with Cricket Ireland that we have been working on over the past few months as we continue to try and expand the playing opportunities for our national teams," USA Cricket chief executive Iain Higgins said in a USA Cricket press release.
He further added that hosting an ICC Full member is a historic moment for the game in the country.
"To be able to bring an ICC Full Member to the United States to play a series of five international matches is an historic and hugely significant step forward for cricket here in America,” he added.
The first T20I will be played on December 22 and the second one on the next following day while the ODIs are scheduled to take place on December 26, 28 and 30 respectively.
