Not sure why this minnow country has been given full status by ICC when they cant even afford to host a tour which only has a handful of whiteball cricket- and that too against the Big 3 playing nation which meant the TV rights would be as lucrative as playing England. And these guys want to play Tests... they should be stripped of their full member status and only organise tours with Afg Bangladesh, SL and Pak

He also defended the decision by saying that Cricket Ireland is trying to "rebalance our spend" and increase investment in women's and age-group teams

 

BC, they don't have money to sustain men's cricket and they want to spend more on women... first learn to walk before running :facepalm:

 

Ireland will announce this week the outcomes of Friday's board meeting, which will include details of their men's international schedule for 2024. They will face Pakistan next month in three T20Is and are also due to host Zimbabwe (one Test, three ODIs, three T20Is) and South Africa (three ODIs, three T20Is) according to the Future Tours Programme - though both series are expected to be cut.

 

So they are a full member team and cant host any tours by other teams - this sport is a joke
