Sri Lanka Women to tour Ireland for a white-ball series
Sri Lanka women will feature in a two-match T20I series followed by a three-game ODI series, against Ireland, beginning 11 August.
Sri Lanka, placed at no.7 on the ICC Women’s T20I Team Rankings, will feature in a two-game T20I series against no.10 Ireland.
The islanders are fresh off a historic maiden Asia Cup triumph. They beat India by eight wickets in the final. The fixtures will give Sri Lanka much-needed game time in the lead-up to the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024.
The two T20Is will be followed by a three-match ODI series beginning on 16 August.
