The Pakistan Cricket Board has announced that the national side would play a three-match T20I series against Ireland from 10 to 14 May, the International Cricket Council reported.

All three matches will be played at Castle Avenue in Dublin. It will be the first multi-match bilateral T20I encounter between Pakistan and Ireland as previously, the two teams had only clashed once in the shortest format, in a one-off match back in 2009.

A two-match T20I series was scheduled for July 2020 but did not happen due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The series would be played after Pakistan hosts New Zealand for five T20I match series on 18 April.

Pakistan are currently taking part in a fitness camp at Kakul, with 29 players from across the country converging to get in the groove for the mega-event.
