Irish Cricket Board Chief Execute Warren Deutrom said that Ireland will play three home T20I games against India in August. He also said that Ireland will play an ODI series against Bangladesh in May to foster their direct qualification for ICC ODI World Cup 2023, set to take place in India later this year.
“Summer 2023 will be a feast of men’s cricket but will look very different to normal fans. We can today confirm India visiting Ireland for a second consecutive year and confirm the World Cup Super League series against Bangladesh will proceed in early May. This is on top of the already announced Test match at Lord’s in June and the three-match ODI series in September against England”, Warren Deutrom said.

Ireland is yet to get a direct qualification for ICC ODI World Cup 2023. If they beat Bangladesh in the ODI series 3-0, they will manage to get a direct entry into the tournament. Otherwise, they will have to play qualifiers in Zimbabwe in June-July.
India is set to face Australia in ICC World Test Championship in June this year, which is their next international campaign after India vs Australia series. Indian players will be busy with IPL 2023 ahead of the WTC final. Last year, India sent a second-string squad on an Ireland tour. This time, a similar strategy can be expected as BCCI’s focus is on ODIs due to ODI World Cup 2023.
