IRE vs NED: Ireland Women’s team will tour the Netherlands for a three-match ODI series starting on August 22.
VRA Amstelveen will host the first two One-Day Internationals. The matches will be held on August 22 and 2. On the other hand, VCC Voorburg will host the third and final ODI on August 26.
Cricket Ireland has announced that Laura Delany, their regular skipper, will serve as the team’s captain for the next tour. She is going to be the face of the 14-member squad.
Ava Canning, a right-arm spinner has played for Ireland in 12 T20Is so far. She may soon make her ODI debut. While Orla Prendergast, an all-rounder, and Amy Hunter, who played in ODIs last year, are back in the lineup.
“It’s not only important for the Ireland Women’s squad to play more fixtures, but also to play in different conditions,” Carrie Archer, the Chair of National Women’s Selectors said in an official statement released by Ireland Cricket.
“So, we are pleased with the opportunity to play a three-match ODI series in Holland and provide – particularly the younger players – another experience for their development as well-rounded cricketers,” said Archer.
“The Selectors have welcomed back several players that were unavailable for the ODI series against South Africa, and believe we have a side that blends experience with youth that largely featured in the recent T20I Tri-Series against Australia and Pakistan. Indeed, this upcoming series builds on a busy home international season and will provide invaluable experience in this format before we face Pakistan away in the ICC Women’s Championship in November,” he added.
