Dublin, Sept 1 (Ians) Cricket Ireland have named a 15-member men’s squad that will face current World Cup holders England in a three-match Odi series happening from September 20-26.
The Ireland squad will be led by opener Paul Stirling and will play matches against England at Headingley (Leeds), Trent Bridge (Nottingham) and The Seat Unique Stadium (Bristol). Graham Hume is back in place of Fionn Hand while Neil Rock also returns to the side.
Ireland will have a new-look top-order, with Andrew Balbirnie set to open with Stirling and pace all-rounder Curtis Campher to bat at number three.
“While the squad has an overall familiar shape, there are several important changes we are going to look at. The key changes are at the top of the order where Andrew Balbirnie will open with Paul Stirling.”

Dublin, Aug 18 (Ians) Star pacer Jasprit Bumrah made his much-awaited return from injury layoff as India won the toss and elected to bowl first against Ireland in the first T20I of the three-match series, here at the Village on Friday.
While Bumrah will lead the side, Ruturaj Gaikwad has been officially named India’s vice-captain. Meanwhile, Rinku Singh and Prasidh Krishna will mark their T20Is debut.
“We’ll bowl first, very happy to be here. The weather looks lovely. I feel good, looking forward to play some cricket. You realise what you were missing, very happy to be back. We expect nothing short of a fight from Ireland. As a fast bowler, I hope the pitch does something. We have two debuts – Rinku and Prasidh Krishna. Told them to just enjoy their cricket,” Bumrah said at the toss.
On the other hand, Ireland skipper Paul Stirling said: “Looking forward to going out there.

Dublin (Ireland), Aug 17 (Ians) Gearing up for the upcoming two-match T20 Internationals series against India, Ireland’s wicketkeeper-batter Lorcan Tucker is looking forward to making a good impression against one of the world’s top teams.
When India last visited Ireland in June last year for a similar two-match series, the Men in Blue won 2-0 and this time too, they are looking for a similar result, especially with bowling spearhead Jasprit Bumrah and fellow-pacer Prasidh Krishna returning from injuries and hoping to put up their claims for selection in the World Cup team.
Ireland, on their part, are not hoping to be cannon fodder again and are confident of putting up a tough fight against India, making the most of the home conditions.
Their confidence is based on the experience their players have gained a lot of experience in the last one year or so, said Tucker, who had...

Dublin, Aug 4 (Ians) Ireland have brought in all-rounder Fionn Hand and leg-spinner Gareth Delany in their 15-member squad for three-match T20I series against India, starting from August 18 in Malahide.
Hand had missed out on selection in Ireland’s recent qualification for the 2024 Men’s T20 World Cup while Delany is returning from injury after breaking his wrist during the Men’s Odi World Cup Qualifiers in Zimbabwe in June.
“Giving opportunities to players also filters down the series themselves, so I would expect that all of the 15 players named in the India series squad will feature at some point. The Indian side arriving in Ireland is an exciting one for the supporters, but as we showed last year, we have the talent and confidence to match them on the field of play and we have high hopes for another fiercely contested series.
So, while the immediate task at hand...

Harare, June 30 (Ians) Three wickets from fast bowler Craig Young, followed by a belligerent half-century from opener Paul Stirling helped Ireland beat USA by six in their seventh-place playoff semi-final at the Men’s Odi World Cup Qualifiers, here on Friday.
For the USA, Saiteja Mukkamalla and Sushant Modani scored half-centuries, but Young’s three-fer and support from other bowlers meant they were 196 all out. In reply, Stirling smashed nine fours and two sixes in his 45-ball 58 to take Ireland over the line with 94 balls to spare.
Asked to bat first in the first-ever Odi meeting between the two teams, opener Steven Taylor played with plenty of freedom early on, before a double-wicket maiden from Young in the seventh over took out both Taylor and captain Monank Patel.
Mukkamalla and Modani then combined for an 88-run partnership before the former was run out in the 23rd over by McBrine catching him short of his crease.

Bulawayo, June 21 (Ians) All-rounder Michael Leask hit a four on the final ball of Scotland’s chase to secure a thrilling one-wicket win for Scotland over Ireland in their Mens Odi World Cup Qualifier Group B match at Queens Sports Club, here on Wednesday.
All-rounder Curtis Campher’s superb 120 and George Dockrell’s fine 69 helped Ireland to a total of 286/8, after being reduced to 70/5, thanks to Brandon McMullen’s 5/34.
In reply, Scotland were in trouble at 152/7. But Leask had other ideas, slamming a glorious unbeaten 91 off 61 balls, laced with nine fours and four sixes, to gain a thrilling win for Scotland.
Leask also shared a vital 82-run stand for the eighth wicket with Mark Watt (47), before stitching a 50-run stand with Safyaan Sharif (6). With this, Scotland have now won 13 of their last 14 ODIs batting second.
Scotland’s chase had a less than ideal start as Matthew Cross fell to Mark Adair in the second over.

Harare, June 17 (Ians) Each match of Men’s Odi World Cup qualifiers will be high stakes, with ten teams contesting for two places at the global showpiece event set to be held later this year in India.
One of the ten teams in contention for those two spots is 1996 champions Sri Lanka, who will be kicking off their Group B campaign in Bulawayo against the United Arab Emirates on Monday, and captain Dasun Shanaka said his team is aware that any opposition can’t be taken lightly in a tournament where Odi World Cup spots are at stake.
“We are very confident of doing well in the Qualifiers and used the two warm-ups to get our boys into match situations, and the team is looking forward to the games coming up. We also know that every team taking part in this competition is aiming to win, which means that no opponent can be taken lightly,...

Lord’s, June 4 (Ians) After suffering a ten-wicket defeat to England in the one-off Test at Lords, Ireland captain Andrew Balbirnie revealed that an injured James McCollum wanted to come out to bat with a protective boot on to help Andy McBrine hit a century.
On day three, Ireland resumed their second innings from 97/3. But they were effectively four down as McCollum suffered an ankle injury while batting, which ruled out his participation from the rest of the match.
After Harry Tector had set the base for an Irish fightback with a fine 51, McBrine and Mark Adair joined forces for a mammoth 163-run stand for the seventh wicket. But Adair fell for 86 and McBrine was left stranded at 88 not out as Ireland’s innings ended at 362/9, leaving England to chase 12, which was achieved in four balls.
“He had the pads on, he had the boot on, it was all a bit chaotic in there.

London, May 24 (Ians) England on Wednesday picked uncapped seamer Josh Tongue in their Test squad, which is set to face Ireland in a one-off Test match starting at Lords from June 1, with the side facing injury concerns around pacers James Anderson and Ollie Robinson.
The 25-year old Tongue has impressed for several seasons in domestic competition for Worcestershire and was part of the England Lions tour of Sri Lanka earlier this year and featured prominently in the red ball part of that series, especially taking 5/34 and 3/77 against Sri Lanka A.
“We have been monitoring Josh (Tongue) for quite some time and he deserves this call-up to the Test squad. It will be a great experience for him to understand and get used to the environment under Ben (Stokes) and Brendon (McCullum).

Dublin, May 24 (Ians) Cricket Ireland on Wednesday announced that right-handed batter Stephen Doheny has missed out from the 15-player squad to be captained by Andrew Balbirnie for the upcoming Icc Mens Cricket World Cup Qualifier in Zimbabwe.
The Qualifier event, to be held in Zimbabwe from June 18-July 9, will see 10 teams competing for two remaining spots in the ten-team 2023 Icc Men’s Cricket World Cup, to be held in India from October-November.
“Unfortunately, hard decisions had to be made, and Stephen Doheny misses out on this trip. Stephen is a player we admire and want to continue to invest in, but we think the time is right for him, just now, to take a step back and work on a few technical aspects of his game at the domestic level.”

Dublin, May 6 (Ians) Opener Paul Stirling has been named in Ireland’s 15-man squad for their one-off Test against England at Lord’s, to happen from June 1-4. Stirling had returned to red-ball cricket during Ireland’s second Test match against Sri Lanka and scored his maiden Test century at Galle.
Ireland have not rested left-arm fast bowler Josh Little, who is having an Indian Premier League (Ipl) stint with Gujarat Titans. Little, though, is back with the Ireland squad to play three ODIs against Bangladesh at Chelmsford in the upcoming week and will return to India for Ipl 2023 post the completion of the series.
“Regarding Josh Little, although the Ipl will have finished, we are very conscious of the need for Josh to rest, recover and prepare for what will be a busy and important summer for us in white-ball cricket,” said Andrew White, Ireland Men’s National Selector,...

Galle, April 28 (Ians) Off-spinner Ramesh Mendis picked a five-wicket haul while conceding 64 runs as Sri Lanka beat Ireland by an innings and ten runs on day five of the second Test to complete a 2-0 series sweep at the Galle International Stadium, here on Friday.
Ireland had put up a record-breaking performance in the first innings, crossing 400 for the first time in Test cricket with Paul Stirling and Curtis Campher both making hundreds in their total of 492. But going into the final day’s play, they were facing an uphill battle for survival after Sri Lanka declared on 704/3 in their first innings and Ireland had lost two wickets on day four.
Day five’s play began with Andrew Balbirnie and Harry Tector in the middle, but the Ireland captain was struck on the helmet by a bouncer from the fiery Asitha Fernando and left the field after receiving medical attention.

Galle, April 26 (Ians) Ireland were made to toil hard by Sri Lankan batters on day three of the second Test at Galle International Stadium, here on Wednesday as captain Dimuth Karunaratne hit his 16th Test century while Nishan Madushka notched up his maiden hundred in the longest format of the game.
At stumps on day three, Sri Lanka were trailing Ireland by 135 runs, having reached 357/1 as rain brought early finish to the play. Though the hosts’ lost Karunaratne’s wicket, Madushka remained unbeaten on 149 while Kusal Mendis was unconquered at 83, with Ireland all-rounder Curtis Campher taking the only wicket to fall on day three.
Starting the day from 81/0 and trailing by 411 runs, Karunaratne led the early charge, hitting his first boundary in aggressive style, slashing Campher’s first ball of the day hard over the cordon for four, and there was little let-up thereafter.

Galle, April 24 (Ians) Captain Andrew Balbirnie hit a masterful 95 before Lorcan Tucker surpassed him as Ireland’s leading Test run-scorer as Ireland reached 319/4 on Day One of the second and final Test match of the series against Sri Lanka on Monday.
Balbirnie registered his career-best Test score in a century stand with Paul Stirling but was dismissed five runs short of a maiden hundred in the evening session. Stirling also reached a career-best total of 74 before retiring hurt, struggling with cramps.
The two batting stalwarts led the rebuilding job after Sri Lanka took early wickets, reducing the visitors to 43/2, with Pj Moor and James McCollum falling cheaply. Harry Tector was given out on an lbw decision on 11, but the review showed the ball bouncing over the wicket. But he was only able to add another seven runs before he charged down the pitch off Prabath Jayasuriya, and hit straight to a stretching mid-on fielder.

Dublin, April 21 (Ians) Cricket Ireland on Friday announced their squad for the three-game Odi series against Bangladesh to be held from May 9-14 in Chelmsford.
The series offers Ireland a potential automatic qualification spot for the Icc Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 if they can win all three matches of the Super League, where they are ranked 11th.
Bangladesh, on the other hand, have already qualified for the global Odi tournament to be held in India in October-November. In the squad captained by Andrew Balbirnie, left-arm pacer Josh Little has also been included.
Little is currently turning out for defending champions Gujarat Titans in Ipl 2023. Conor Olphert, Matthew Humphreys and Ross Adair were not available for the series due to examination/work commitments.
“The senior squad has a more familiar look, with much of the squad having been part of the set-up in Zimbabwe (January) and Bangladesh (March) Odi fixtures.

Bangladesh, on the other hand, have already qualified for the global Odi tournament to be held in India in October-November. In the squad captained by Andrew Balbirnie, left-arm pacer Josh Little has also been included.
Little is currently turning out for defending champions Gujarat Titans in Ipl 2023. Conor Olphert, Matthew Humphreys and Ross Adair were not available for the series due to examination/work commitments.

Dhaka, April 7 (Ians) On the back of wicketkeeper Mushfiqur Rahim’s 51 not out, Bangladesh put a halt to Ireland’s fightback in the one-off Test by securing a seven-wicket win in the second session of day four’s play at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium on Friday.
Ireland made 259 for the loss of just four wickets on day three, recovering from 27/4 to spark hopes of an unlikely triumph. Andy McBrine was key to their hopes overnight, resuming unbeaten on 71 having entered at 123/6.
However, he was only able to add one to his overnight score on day four, with Ireland losing two wickets for six runs. Ebadot Hossain did the damage, sending McBrine’s off-stump cartwheeling before nicking off Graham Hume as Ireland made 292 in their second innings.
That left Bangladesh needing 138 to win. Litton Das hit 23 off 19 before becoming the first wicket to fall, a sharp bouncer from Mark Adair...

Dublin, April 3 (Ians) Opener Paul Stirling is set to join Ireland’s Test squad for the tour of Sri Lanka and will be available for selection for the second Test to be played in Galle from April 24-28. Stirling’s addition makes Ireland’s travelling squad a 16-player party for the second game of the two-Test series.
Ireland’s tour to Sri Lanka was initially supposed to consist of one Test and two ODIs. But the hosts’ quest to get more red-ball matches meant the two ODIs got converted into an extra Test match. Both the Tests will be played in Galle between April 16 and 28.

Chattogram, March 26 (Ians) Ireland captain Andrew Balbirnie will be rested for his team’s T20I series against Bangladesh starting from Monday and opener Paul Stirling will step into the role, Cricket Ireland said on Sunday.
“Andrew was due to take a break from the Odi series against Sri Lanka next month to concentrate on preparation for the upcoming Tests and the all-important World Cup Super League series in May.
With the Sri Lankan Odi series now being converted to a second Test Match, he will now be rested from this T20I series instead,” said head coach Heinrich Malan in a press conference.
Stirling has captained Ireland six times in T20Is in the past and has been vice-captain of Ireland team since 2019. With Balbirnie now rested, and Stirling stepping in, Lorcan Tucker will act as vice-captain for the series against Bangladesh.

Dublin, Dec 13 (Ians) Uncapped batter Stephen Doheny has been named in Ireland’s Odi and T20I squads for the tour of Zimbabwe, set to happen in January 2023. Doheny was a part of Ireland’s T20 World Cup 2022 squad but did not get a game in Australia.
With three ODIs and as many T20Is coming up against Zimbabwe, Doheny is in line to make his international debut. The two teams had recently met in the T20 World Cup where Zimbabwe secured a 31-run win over Ireland in the first-round match at Hobart.
Fast bowler Tyrone Kane returns to the side after nearly four years since his last international match against Zimbabwe in July 2019. Also making a return are leg-spinner Ben White and wicketkeeper-batter Neil Rock, both of whom debuted for Ireland in 2021.

Adelaide, Nov 4 (Ians) Ireland left-arm pacer Josh Little’s hat-trick went in vain as New Zealand took a big step towards qualifying for the semifinals of Men’s T20 World Cup with a 35-run win in their last Group 1 match in Super 12s at the Adelaide Oval on Friday.
New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson played exquisite shots all across the park to make a solid 61, his first fifty of the tournament, to help his side reach a challenging 185/6. But Little stole thunder of it by dismissing him, Jimmy Neesham and Mitchell Santner on the trot in the 19th over to record second hat-trick of the tournament.
Chasing 186, Ireland needed a big start and their openers, captain Andrew Balbirnie and Paul Stirling, responded well to the call with some amazing boundaries. At 68 for no loss after eight overs, Ireland looked set to cause an upset.

Brisbane, Oct 31 (Ians) Lorcan Tucker’s fighting knock (71 not out off 48) went in vain as Australia produced a clinical all-round performance to hammer Ireland by 42 runs in a Super 12 game and keep their semifinal hopes alive in the ongoing Icc Men’s T20 World Cup at the Gabba, here on Monday.
With this win, Australia pushed their net run rate up to -0.304, still below that of England, but they moved to the second spot in Group 1 standings with five points in four matches. On the other hand, Ireland are in fourth spot with three points.
Australia skipper Aaron Finch played an excellent knock of 63 from 44 deliveries to guide his team to a commanding total of 179/5 in 20 overs, after they were invited to bat first. Apart from Aaron, all-rounders Marcus Stoinis (35) and Mitchell Marsh (28) also made valuable contributions with the bat for the hosts.

Hobart, Oct 23 (Ians) Ireland had caused a sensation by ousting West Indies from the Men’s T20 World Cup but found the going tough in the Super 12 stage as they slumped to a nine-wicket defeat to Sri Lanka here on Sunday.
Ireland Skipper Andrew Balbirnie said his batters found the “sticky” wicket and the Sri Lankan spinners difficult to handle and thus failed to put up a big total.
Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana took two wickets each in a brilliant bowling performance as Sri Lanka restricted Ireland to a paltry 128/8 in 20 overs. In response, opener Kusal Mendis smashed an unbeaten 68, his second consecutive fifty on the trot, as Sri Lanka secured a clinical nine-wicket win.
Though Ireland had outplayed West Indies at the same venue, they found the pitch a bit more ‘sticky’ than on Friday and thus could not post a competitive total. Balbirnie agreed that the deck...

Hobart, Oct 21 (Ians) Leg-spinner Gareth Delany picked career-best figures of 3/16 while veteran opener Paul Stirling, playing in his seventh Men’s T20 World Cup, stood up when it mattered the most, slamming a sensational 66 not out to take Ireland to the Super 12 stage of the ongoing tournament with a nine-wicket drubbing of West Indies in a decisive Group B match of the first round at Bellerive Oval on Friday.
After Delany kept things tight, with other bowlers chipping in, to keep the West Indies to an under-par 146/5 in 20 overs, with Brandon King making an unbeaten 62, Stirling came out all guns blazing in his unbeaten 48-ball knock, hitting six fours and two sixes to make a mockery of the chase, hunting down the total with 15 balls remaining.

Dublin (Ireland), Sep 20 (Ians) Off-spinner Simi Singh was on Tuesday selected ahead of Andy McBrine as the third spinner in the Ireland squad for the Men’s T20 World Cup in Australia starting next month.
With George Dockrell and Gareth Delany doing well this season, the selectors decided to pick one spinner in the 15-member squad and Simi Singh got the nod.
“One of the most considered decisions we had to make was around our spin bowling options. With George Dockrell and Gareth Delany both having an impact this summer and the variation they bring to the attack, it came down to making a choice between Simi Singh and Andy McBrine.
“Andy can feel very unfortunate to have missed out this time, but we believe Simi offers more variation on Australian wickets with his ability to take the ball away from both right and left-handers,” Cricket Ireland’s chief selector Andrew White said.

Belfast, Aug 18 (Ians) Ireland sealed the five-match T20I series against Afghanistan with a thrilling, rain-affected seven-wicket win in the decider match at Stormont.
After winning the toss and electing to bowl first, Ireland had an excellent start, thanks to an opening burst from Player of the Match, pacer Mark Adair.
After a quiet first over from Josh Little, Hazratullah Zazai looked to have got Afghanistan moving with two consecutive boundaries, the first streakily skewed past point, and the second smoked through the covers.
However, Adair struck back, enticing the explosive opener to miscue high into the air, with Simi Singh taking the catch at mid-off. Three balls later, he claimed another, Rahmanullah Gurbaz poking outside off and edging through to the keeper.
Little snuck through a second quiet over before Adair struck again, once more hitting back after a first-ball boundary. This time he was cut through point by...

Belfast, Aug 12 (Ians) An impressive bowling performance from Ireland set up their five-wicket win over Afghanistan to take a 2-0 lead in the five-match T20I series. The hosts limited the visitors to 122/8 in 20 overs, with four bowlers taking two wickets each and ensured Afghanistan’s batting never gathered any serious momentum.
In reply, Ireland briefly tumbled in the middle overs of their chase, falling from 72/1 to 86/4. But George Dockrell held his nerve with an unbeaten 19-ball 25 to secure victory. After Afghanistan chose to bat first, Mark Adair took a wicket on the first ball of second over as Rahmanullah Gurbaz found the hands of Barry McCarthy to depart for 1.
Josh Little then bowled Usman Ghani in the next over to leave Afghanistan at 20/2. Ibrahim Zadran hit three boundaries off McCarthy’s first over. But Curtis Campher struck from the final ball of the sixth over as Zadran’s flick...
