Team India to tour Ireland for 3-match T20I series in August

Team India will tour Ireland for a short three-match T20I series in Ireland in August. The games will be played in Malahide on August 18, 20 and 23.

The Men in Blue had visited Ireland last year as well for a two-match T20I series, which they won 2-0. Confirming India’s tour of Ireland, Warren Deutrom, chief executive of Cricket Ireland, said on Tuesday (June 27):

“We’re delighted to welcome India back to Ireland for the second time in 12 months. 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.”

Ireland suffered a major setback, as they failed to reach Super Six round of the ongoing ICC World Cup 2023 Qualifiers in Zimbabwe. The Irish finished fourth in Group B after the league round, winning only one of their four games.

Meanwhile, India will resume their cricketing duties after a month-long break following the World Test Championship 2023 final against Australia with a tour of West Indies.

The Indians will feature in two Tests, three ODIs and five T20Is during their multi-format tour of West Indies from July 12 to August 13.
