Internet Desk: The Indian Cricket Team will travel to Ireland to play two T20Is prior to their tour of England in July. The two T20Is will be held in Dublin on June 27 and June 29, 2018. It would be a good chance for the Men in Blue to get accustomed with the seaming pitches as they will tour England after playing in Ireland. England and Ireland are to neighboring countries and the nature of the pitches are quite same there.

India last toured Ireland in 2007 when they played an ODI at Belfast, which the visitors won by nine wickets (D/L method). India have played Ireland just once in the T20 format when the two sides met in Nottingham during the 2009 ICC World T20.

The two matches will precede the long tour of England comprising five Tests, three ODIs and as many T20s.
