Cricket Ireland announced on Tuesday the fact that the Indian squad will visit their nation for a T20I series before the major event in an ODI World Cup year and on the day the apex cricket council and the Indian Cricket Board released the eagerly anticipated schedule for the tournament scheduled to be held in India later in October of this year. On June 27, the specifics of the tour were announced, with India scheduled to visit Ireland precisely a year later.

The three-match T20I series will take place in Ireland starting on August 18 and running through August 23. All of the games will take place in Malahide, a suburb of Dublin.

The five-match T20I series will be played around July and August as part of India's visit of the West Indies, which will conclude exactly after the conclusion of the series. This happens to be India's third T20I series and fourth overall tour of Ireland. In 2007, they went on their first-ever tour to play a single ODI game. They were required to tour Ireland for two T20I series in 2018 as well as 2022, respectively. 

“This year should give even more fans the opportunity to enjoy” : Warren Deutrom

Warren Deutrom, Chief Executive of Cricket Ireland spoke in a statement. He spoke how the two match series between India and Ireland was a momentous occasion and this year it might be better with one more game. He said, “We’re delighted to welcome India Men 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.”

He thanked the Indian Cricket Board for planning the tour and hopes for the crowd to come to the stadiums in support of their team. He said, “Our sincere thanks to the BCCI, first, for their continued inclusion of Ireland in the Indian team’s busy itinerary and also for working with us to ensure as fan-friendly a schedule a possible – having matches on a Friday and Sunday will hopefully maximise availability of fans.”
