With an impressive 137 T20I appearances, Paul Stirling is poised to captain the team, guiding Ireland through their last-minute preparations before the upcoming T20 World Cup in the West Indies and the USA.
This series presents a crucial chance for Ireland to sharpen its abilities against a strong adversary, mainly because it is grouped with Pakistan in Group A of the T20 World Cup.
George Dockrell, Ireland’s second-most experienced T20I player, brings a mix of all-around skills to enhance the squad’s balance.
The middle-order will feature the seasoned expertise of players like Harry Tector, Curtis Campher, and wicketkeeper-batter Lorcan Tucker. Spearheading the pace attack will be Mark Adair and Ben White.
