The Irish women’s cricket team is all set to etch their names in history books as they prepare for their maiden bilateral series in India later this year. Led by their skipper Laura Delany, the team will lock horns with Harmanpreet Kaur’s formidable Indian side in a much-anticipated ODI and T20I series.
This tour marks a significant moment for both teams. For Ireland, it’s a chance to break new ground and test their mettle against a cricketing powerhouse. Success in the series, particularly the ODIs, could be a game-changer for their qualification prospects in the upcoming ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup, which will be conveniently hosted by India in 2025.
The details of the schedule are yet to be finalized, but we do know that the Irish team will be spending two weeks in India, playing all six matches in January. The venues are also to be confirmed, but one thing is certain – the ODI series will hold special weight as it contributes points towards the ongoing 2022-2025 ICC Women’s ODI Championship.
This historic tour presents an exciting opportunity for both teams. The Indian team will be looking to maintain their dominance on home soil, while the Irish women will be aiming to prove their worth on the big stage. The series promises to be a display of cricketing talent and a significant moment for the development of women’s cricket globally.
