Afghanistan A vs Ireland A 2025: Full schedule, squads, match timings, and live-streaming details

The Afghanistan A cricket team is set to face Ireland A in a one-off four-day match at the Tolerance Oval in Abu Dhabi. The match will kick off a near-month-long multi-format engagement for both sides in the UAE.

The Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) named the team's squad for the match last month through their social media platforms. Darwish Rasooli is set to lead the team, and he will be assisted by his deputy Abdul Malik. Notably, the match marks a home fixture for the Afghanistan A team.

Cricket Ireland also unveiled its squad a few days ago. Leinster Lightning star Gavin Hoey was appointed as the team captain by the cricket board. The match between Afghanistan A and Ireland A is set to serve as a key platform for identifying emerging talent and testing bench strength ahead of future international commitments for both cricketing boards.

The four-day match will be followed by a seven-match 50-overs tri-series, where Sri Lanka A will constitute the third team. The tour will eventually conclude with Afghanistan A facing Sri Lanka A in yet another four-day fixture in Abu Dhabi.

On that note, let’s take a look at the schedule, squads, match timings, and other details regarding the Afghanistan A vs Ireland A one-off match in UAE 2025:
