Dublin, July 17 (Ians) Ireland have announced a 14-player squad for the upcoming three-game women’s Odi series against reigning World Cup winners Australia, set to take place at Clontarf Cricket Club from July 23-28.
This will be Ireland’s next international assignment after they returned winless from the white-ball tour of the West Indies. “It’s a hugely exciting summer of international cricket -– we’ve just returned from a tour to the Caribbean, and now have a home series against Australia and then the Netherlands away.”
“We were disappointed not to get at least one win against the West Indies, but we had our moments.
