Ireland Cricket team set for historic tour to the United States

-

The Irish men's cricket team are set to make history by being the first full member nation to tour the United States when they play the USA in Florida in a five match series in December. The tour will consist of two T20I's and three ODI's. The USA cricket side have also reached an agreement were they will tour Ireland within the next three years. 

This tour will will also offer the Irish cricket side some much needed practice before their World Cup Super Series matches against the West Indies in January 2022. The matches against the USA will offer the Irish cricket side a perfect opportunity to get to grips with their new head coach, which as of writing is yet to be decided, after Graham Ford announced on the 17th November that he was leaving the role of head coach of the senior men's side after four years coaching the side. During his tenure, Ford led the squad for 102 internationals across all three formats of the game including the historic 1st Test match against Pakistan in 2018. These matches will enable the incoming head coach to try out new lineup's and also new strategies before the crucial Super Series matches against the West Indies, were 30 points will be up for grabs. These 30 points could go a long way in helping Ireland qualify for the next edition of the 50 over world cup, which takes places in India in 2023. 

This will also be the first time since 2015 were the two sides have played each other. The last time these two nations played each other was at Stormont in Northern Ireland when Ireland came out victorious. Ireland will also look to continue their 100% winning record against the USA in T20's. Having won all four of their previous games. 

I would like to wish the best of luck to the Irish cricket side on their tours to both the USA and also to the West Indies.

Welcome back to the Don't Bowl There cricket blog, where we kick off our return with an exciting lineup of high-profile interviews in the days and weeks to come. In our latest instalment, we caught up with Shane Getkate, a seasoned player with a decade-long stint in the NCU, seven of those years dedicated to Instonians CC. Shane, fresh off his triumph in securing the Robinson Services Premier League last season, shared his thoughts on the exhilarating victory. Describing it as a "major honour" and an "amazing feeling," Shane emphasised the unique satisfaction of clinching the league title over the course of a full season, distinguishing it from previous cup victories.

Interview with Lisburn and Northern Knights All-rounder, James Hunter

In this instalment of the Don't Bowl There cricket blog, I have had the privilege of being able to interview Northern Knights and Lisburn all-rounder, James Hunter. James has been spending the last few months in "the land down under" representing Lane Cove Cricket Club in 1st Grade cricket in Sydney, Australia. During the course of this blog post, James will discuss his experience travelling and playing in Australia along with what his goals are for the 2024 Premier League season. So, James, what made you want to apply to join the ICP Cricket Programme? I felt that it was important to join a cricket programme whilst having a season away as it provides more structure and training volume than simply relying on club cricket training. I think one of the main attractions to the ICP is that it is based in Sydney. Not only is it a very impressive city, but it has a high quality club cricket. More specifically, the ICP seems to be a more intensive setup than most other programmes...
