The Indian team will play the ODI series against Ireland. This ODI series between India and Ireland will be played from August 18 to 23. However, this will be the second year in a row that the Indian cricket team will play the ODI series against Ireland. At the beginning of the year 2022, a series of 2 ODIs was played between India and Ireland. In this series, the hosts Ireland gave a tough fight to the Indian team led by Hardik Pandya. Although, the Ireland team failed to win the match, but they were quite impressed with their performance.
At the same time, before the series against India, the Ireland team will play a 3 ODI series against Bangladesh. The ODI series between Ireland and Bangladesh will be part of the World Cup Super League. In other words, the series between the two teams will be very important in terms of qualifying for the World Cup. Actually, the ODI World Cup will be played in the month of October this year. This time the World Cup will be held on Indian soil. However, the Ireland-Bangladesh series is going to be very important for the qualification for the World Cup.
Talking about the World Super League, the Bangladesh team qualified for the World Cup, but the Ireland team would like to qualify by winning the series against Bangladesh. However, it will not be easy for Ireland to qualify for the World Cup. Actually, if the Ireland team wins the ODI series against Bangladesh 3-0, then they can qualify for the World Cup. At the same time, Hardik Pandya is believed to be the captain of the Indian team in the India-Ireland series. Earlier when the 2 ODI series was played between the two teams, the captain of that Indian team was also Hardik Pandya.
