Ireland announced squad for three-match T20 series against England

The England team will tour Ireland in the coming days. Ireland has announced its team for the three-match T20 series. For this T20 series, Ireland's team will not have two experienced and big players like Mark Adair and Josh Little. Ben Calitz has been included in the Ireland team for the first time for this series.

Only two T20 matches have been played between Ireland and England so far:

The Ireland team will host England's T20 series on their home ground for the first time. So far two matches have been played between these two teams in T20 International. The first match between the two teams was played in 2010, that match was canceled due to rain. At the same time, the second match was played in the T20 World Cup 2022. This match was also interrupted due to rain, where Ireland won by five runs.

Following the announcement of Ireland's squad for the series, Ireland men's national selector Andrew White said, "Every match against England is a special occasion, but this series is even more important as the next T20 World Cup, to be played in India and Sri Lanka, begins in less than six months. These matches against England give us a chance to prepare for that tournament as well as test ourselves against one of the best teams in the world. At the moment, we are set to play the same number of T20 matches over the next five months as we have played so far in this cycle, but in the coming days we will also be touring Asian countries in preparation for the World Cup."
