PAK vs IRE T20I Series: After playing a draw T20I series against New Zealand at home, Pakistan are set to tour Ireland for a three-match T20I series. The series will kick-start on 10 April and all the three T20Is will be played at a single venue in Ireland. Here we are with the PAK vs IRE T20I&nbsp;Schedule, Full Squads, Venues, Timings, and Probable Playing 11s.

Originally slated for July 2020, a two-match T20I series was canceled because of the Covid-19 epidemic. This series will mark a notable milestone as Pakistan and Ireland's first multi-match bilateral T20I meeting. The two sides have only faced once before in the shortest format, which occurred in a one-off game in 2009.



Pakistan recently had a T20I series against New Zealand at home, which would have made some doubts clear for them in order to prepare for T20 World Cup. This series and the England tour which is scheduled shortly after this series play a major role in Pakistan's direction and mindset for the upcoming ICC main event.

Shaheen Shah was exceptional in the home series and his role in Ireland and England will be huge. He might get company from Mohammad Amir and surely Naseem Shah. There is an uncertainty on Haris Rauf making his spot in the playing 11. 



The three-match T20I series will start on May 10 and each game has a 1-day gap in between. The first T20I will be played on May 10 at 02:30 PM IST at Clontarf Cricket Club Ground, Dublin. The same venue will host the other two contests on May 12 and May 14.



The squads for the series are not announced yet but Pakistan might go with an almost similar lineup that they had against New Zealand with some minor changes. Haris Rauf might make his comeback to the squad and Mohammad Haris may also find his name in the final cut.

PAK vs IRE: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is set to announce Pakistan's T20I Squad for the tour of Ireland and England on Wednesday. The development comes after PCB chief Moshin Naqvi held a media talk on Tuesday at the National Bank Stadium in Karachi.



Pakistan and Ireland are slated to meet for a short three-match T20I series, starting May 10. The fixtures of the PAK vs IRE T20Is will be held at Clontarf Cricket Club Ground, Dublin. The second and third games of the series will be held on May 12 and 14 respectively in Dublin.



Following the completion of the Ireland tour, Pakistan is also scheduled to visit the current World T20 Champions - England. The two sides will play out an unusual four-game T20I series, starting May 22. The fixtures will be held in Leeds, Birmingham, Cardiff and London.



?We will announce the squad for the England T20I series tomorrow [Wednesday, May 01],? Moshin Naqvi, PCB chief, said during a media talk on Tuesday at the National Bank Stadium, Karachi.



Notably, Pakistan has also not announced its final 15-member squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup in the West Indies and the USA. The deadline to announce the provisional squad for the coveted event is May 1.



Interestingly, Pakistan may enforce some changes into their T20I squad following an embarrassing series draw against the second-string New Zealand side recently. The Kiwis managed to pin Pakistan with a scoreline of 2-2 in the five-match T20I series held recently.



In spite of having a full-strength T20I outfit, Pakistan felt jitters in defeating New Zealand. Pakistan got the upper hand in the second T20I after the first game was washed out, but the visitors toppled the scoreline with their win in the third and fourth match. In the last fixture, the Babar Azam-led Pakistan managed to get hold of the situation and defeated the Kiwis to draw the series 2-2.



Meanwhile, Moshin Naqvi also talked about the discussions around the upcoming Champions Trophy 2025, which is scheduled to be held in Pakistan. The <a href="https://www.pcb.com.pk/news.html">PCB</a> chief brushed aside all the reports of the hybrid model of play and asserted that all the teams, including India, will be visiting Pakistan for the event.



?We have sent the schedule [of the Champions Trophy] to the ICC, all eight teams will come. There is no reason as to why India would refuse to come. We are not thinking of a hybrid model, there is no talk of the sort,? Naqvi said.

pak-vs-ire-t20i-series-ireland-squad-announced-against-pakistan-for-t20i-series-check-full-squad-of-ireland-vs-pakistan

Pakistan Men's National Cricket Team's fast bowler Mohammad Amir has not travelled with the Men in Green's squad for the tour of Ireland which left for Dublin on Tuesday as he's facing visa issues.



The 32 year old made his return to International Cricket in a home T20i series against New Zealand this year after a span of four long years. He played four games against the Kiwis and he even found a place in the Shaheens squad for the Ireland and England series.



Mohammad Amir is a permanent United Kingdom resident having married a British girl - Narjis Khatun. He has travelled to Ireland before in 2018 but he has not received the Irish visa this year.



The PCB is in constant contact with Cricket Ireland as they believe that it was the responsibility of the hosts Cricket Board to ensure that Pakistan's players got their visa's issued on time. The visa of the Men in Green's batting coach Mohammad Yousuf got delayed as well but he received the visa in time and travelled with the squad as per schedule.



Both Amir and PCB are waiting for his visa to get approved while the Pakistani squad arrived in Dublin today. They are going to play three T20 internationals against the Irish.



The Babar Azam-led team will travel to England for a four match T20i series after the conclusion of the Ireland series ahead of the 2024?T20?World?Cup.

Mohammad Amir had some issues with his visa and won't be able to play in the first T20I. However, the issue is resolved and the paperwork is done so he will be available for selection from the 2nd T20I. Hasan Ali got the international callback along with Haris Rauf. Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, and Abbas Afridi are already in the squad so it will be interesting to see who gets a name in the playing 11.



On their batting, they have a lot of experience and they will bank on it. With a good mix of aggression and composure, Pakistan will be aiming for a balanced site with a couple of experiments in the middle order.

PAK vs IRE 1st T20I Weather Forecast And Pitch Report Of Dublin | Pakistan vs Ireland 1st T20I Rain Prediction

pak-vs-ire-1st-t20i-weather-forecast-and-pitch-report-of-dublin-pakistan-vs-ireland-1st-t20i-rain-prediction

Pakistan Men's National Cricket Teams are gearing up for the upcoming three match T20i series against Ireland with an experienced, well balanced and string squad at their disposal. The Men in Green are going to field a playing 11 which feature a mixture of promising youngsters and experienced campaigners, under the captaincy of Babar Azam.



Skipper Babar will be opening the innings alongside hard hitting opener Saim Ayub. Both of them opened the innings together against New Zealand as well and while they got their team off to some good starts, they weren't able to convert those starts into big partnerships. Saim and Babar will be looking to improvise in their opening stands against Ireland. The top order will be completed by Mohammad Rizwan who will come out to bat at number three and will be donning the wicket - keeping gloves as well. His presence in the playing 11 will provide stability to the Men in Green's batting order.



The middle order will consist of the likes of Iftikhar Ahmed, Usman Khan and Shadab Khan. All three of them provide a really solid - foundation in terms of scoring runs quickly and their ability to switch gears at will makes the Shaheens middle order really deadly and dangerous.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/04/692891_89645904.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-133307" /></figure>



Imad Wasim will be playing the role of the spin bowling all rounder and his experience brings a lot of value to the Pakistani squad while one of Salman Ali Agha or Irfan Khan Niazi will be anticipated to fill the slot of the other all Rounder. They will provide additional options and depth in the bowling &amp; batting departments.



Talking about the fast bowling unit, Shaheen Shah Afridi will lead the bowling attack and he will receive an ample amount of support by the duo of Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf. The trio's ability of picking up early wickets and restrict the run rate of the opposition in the powerplay will be crucial in Pakistan's success against Ireland. 



If Haris Rauf plays, then it will be his first competitive match since returning from injury and it remains to be seen how well he performs in the absence of Mohammad Amir.

PAK vs IRE: Pakistan's Strongest playing against Ireland for the first T20I

pak-vs-ire-pakistans-strongest-playing-against-ireland-for-the-first-t20i

Pakistan's Men's National Cricket Team, led by Babar Azam are set to lock horns against Ireland in the second T20 International match of the three match T20i series tomorrow at Dublin's Clontarf Cricket Club Stadium. The match will commence at 7:30pm IST.



The Shaheens will be making some changes in their playing 11 for the second T20i following their disappointing defeat in?the?first?game.



In the first game, the Babar Azam led team encountered a countless number of challenges, especially in their middle order where several players failed to get going. All Rounder Shadab Khan's poor performance with both the bat and ball led to the downfall of the Shaheens.



Shadab wasn't able to do anything with the bat while with the ball he gave away 54 runs without picking up a single wicket in his four overs.



In light of these failures, Pakistan will be anticipated to make some strategic changes for the second T20i. One potential change can see Abrar Ahmed replace Shadab Khan in the playing 11 for the next game. Abrar is well known for his wicket taking abilities which makes him a valuable addition to?the?playing?11.



Other than that, no other change is expected to be made and Pakistan will be fielding a playing 11 which will be a mix of talented youngsters and experienced players.



The Shaheens experimented with the openers as they let Rizwan open the inning with Saim Ayub but Rizwan wasn't able to do much with the bat so Captain Babar will likely open the inning once again with Saim.



Rizwan will move back to the number three spot which will provide some stability to the top order.



Fakhar Zaman and Iftikhar Ahmed are set to add power to the middle order, while Azam Khan is likely to take on the role of wicketkeeper. Imad Wasim will bring his experience and skills as an all-rounder to the squad.



The duo of Iftikhar Ahmed and Fakhar Zaman will bring some much needed fire power to the middle order while Azam Khan will be handling the Wicketkeeping duties. Imad Wasim was good in the last game and he will retain his place in the team as the spin bowling all rounder.



In the fast bowling unit, Shaheen Shah Afridi will lead the pack and he will be supported by the duo of Mohammad Amir and Naseem Shah. Abrar Ahmed will handle the spin bowling duties alongside?Imad?Wasim

Pakistan vs Ireland: Strongest playing 11 of Pakistan against Ireland for the 2nd T20I

pakistan-vs-ireland-strongest-playing-11-of-pakistan-against-ireland-for-the-2nd-t20i

The 38-year-old Indian spinner, known for his sharp cricketing mind and mastery over the ball, recently opened up about his unexpected decision to retire mid-series during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia.
“For me, what matters is playing with honesty and passion. I don’t need a farewell game. The happiness and experiences the game has given me are more than enough,” said Ravichandran Ashwin, addressing his retirement from international cricket. 
Ashwin's announcement, made after the third Test in Brisbane, sent shockwaves through the cricketing world. Fans and pundits were taken aback by the abruptness of the decision, especially since he had been a key figure in Indian cricket for over a decade.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_67871d1bda113.jpg" alt="">
However, Ashwin made it clear that the decision was instinctive, coming from a place of self-awareness rather than external pressures. He revealed on his YouTube channel, “When you know your time is up, there’s no point in dragging it further. My creativity on the field felt like it had run its course.”
Reflecting on the events leading to his retirement, Ashwin explained how his fluctuating role in the team influenced his decision. “You think what happened? I did not play the first Test. I played the second but did not play the third. It was possible I could play the next or not play the next. This is a side of my creativity and I was looking to explore it. At that time, I felt my creativity was over, so it was over. It was simple” he said. The Tamil Nadu cricketer, who has always been known for his articulate thoughts, emphasized that his retirement was not about controversies or conflicts but about moving forward when he felt ready.
The idea of a farewell game, often seen as a ceremonial way to honor a cricketer’s career, was something Ashwin dismissed outright. “Imagine if I want to play a farewell Test but I do not deserve a place. Imagine, I am only in the team because it is my farewell Test. I don't want that,” he remarked. He elaborated that the essence of cricket lies in the joy it brings, not in grand exits or extended applause.
Ashwin's humility and grounded approach to the sport shone through as he said, “The game has given me so much already; I have no complaints.”
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_67871d1871c43.jpg" alt="">
Ashwin also touched upon his aspirations post-retirement. While he left the Indian dressing room, he hinted at continuing his cricketing journey elsewhere. “I still have cricket left in me, but it’s about finding the right space to explore it. For now, I’m happy to leave when people are asking ‘why’ instead of ‘why not,’” he said with a smile.
As one of India’s finest off-spinners, Ashwin's legacy is monumental. With 537 Test wickets in 106 matches and a combined total of 765 international wickets, he stands as one of the country’s greatest bowlers. Only Anil Kumble has more wickets for India. Beyond numbers, his ability to outthink batters and adapt to different conditions made him a game-changer on the field.
While his departure may seem sudden, it is quintessential Ashwin—methodical, introspective, and unafraid to take bold steps. As fans come to terms with his decision, one thing is clear: Ravichandran Ashwin’s contribution to Indian cricket will remain etched in history, not for how it ended, but for how it unfolded with brilliance and integrity.

Ravichandran Ashwin retired mid-series during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, citing self-awareness. Rejecting a farewell game, he emphasized cricket's joy over ceremonial exits, leaving behind an extraordinary legacy in Indian cricket.

Ashwin's instinctive retirement highlights humility and self-awareness, valuing cricket's joy and legacy over traditional farewell gestures. A remarkable journey concludes.

In what will be disappointing news for the Sanju Samson fans, the keeper-batter is unlikely to cut into the Indian team for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. As per the reports in PTI, it is learned that the Kerala batter is unlikely to be part of the ODI setup for India. 
There were reports earlier that suggested that Sanju Samson would be the second-choice keeper in the team, with Rishabh Pant being the first-choice keeper. However, that won't be the case, as even after KL Rahul was touted to play as a specialist batter, Samson won't be part of the squad. 
As per the reports, it is learned Sanju Samson, Ishan Kishan and Dhruv Jurel are the three players who are fighting for the place of second keeper for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. However, it is learned that Jurel is expected to get the preference in the team along with Rishabh Pant. 
<h2>BCCI has decided that they will be backing Rishabh Pant and Dhruv Jurel as two keepers in Test and ODI </h2>
The reports claimed that BCCI has decided that they will be backing Rishabh Pant and Dhruv Jurel as two keepers in Test and ODI setup. While Sanju Samson, who hit three centuries in T20Is in 2024, will be the first-choice keeper in the shortest format of the game. 
Dhruv Jurel hasn't made his debut for India in the ODIs. But has performed exceptionally well in Tests. The keeper-batter has shown great maturity in the longest format of the game, which impressed the selectors as they decided to give a long rope. 
Dhruv Jurel also has been named in the Indian squad for the T20I series against England. With Sanju Samson being the first-choice keeper, it is likely that Jurel will get a chance in the XI for the five-match series. He has played two games in the shortest format of the game. 
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will be announcing the Indian team for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 on 19th January. Rohit Sharma is set to lead the team, and it will be a massive opportunity for the team to make a comeback after having a horrendous outing in Test cricket of late.

England's Bilateral tour of India is set to commence with the five-match T20 International series which is slated to start from the 22nd of January onwards. The Three Lions have also unveiled their squad for this upcoming tour of India and now they are preparing to travel to India but before this, one player of England's team is facing certain issues. 
It has been learned that he has not received his Indian visa yet, due to which the picture regarding him travelling with the English team to India is not clear yet. We are talking about Saqib Mahmoud, a fantastic fast bowler of the Three Lions. 
<h2>England have set up their training camp in Abu Dhabi</h2>
Whenever the 2019 World Cup winners travel to India for a bilateral series assignment, they first set up a training camp in Abu Dhabi. This time around too, the situation is the same. A news report of ESPNCricinfo has revealed that Saqib may not be a part of the Abu Dhabi training camp till his visa issues get sorted out. 
The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) are hopeful that the 27-year-old speedster receives his visa before the commencement of the T20 International series on the 22nd of January.
<h2>Due to his Pakistani origin, the visa approval is getting delayed</h2>
It's believes that the main reason behind the delay in the visa approval of 27-year-old Saqib Mahmood is his Pakistani origin. In the past too, English players who have a Pakistani origin have encountered such issues. Last year, when the Three Lions came to India for the Test-Series, spinner Shoaib Bashir also faced issues related to his Indian visa. 
Due to this, he missed the opening Test-Match in Hyderabad but after sorting out the problems, he played in the remaining matches of the series. 
<h2>The case of Rehan Ahmed &amp; Adil Rashid is clear</h2>
Although the ECB has not commented on this entire matter, the board still hopes that Saqib will land on Indian soil before the start of the first T20I between the Suryakumar Yadav-led team and England. The squad announced by the ECB consists of two more players who have Pakistani origin and they are, Rehan Ahmed &amp; Adil Rashid. 
Adil Rashid has played a lot of matches on Indian soil so his visa was never an issue while Rehan also played the Test-Series in India last year so his case is pretty clear too.
<h2>This is how Saqib's International career has been so far</h2>
27-year-old Saqib Mahmood is not only included in the T20I series team, he has also been given a chance in the ODI team. He will also go to Pakistan and play the Champions Trophy matches for England . If we talk about his career so far, Saqib has played 18 T20 International matches for England and has dismissed 18 batters in this format so far. At the same time, he also has 14 scalps next to his name by featuring in nine One-Day International contests.

If the reports are to be believed, this visit would be historical moment in the world of Cricket, making it one of the rarest occasions where an Indian player has travelled to the country of their arch-rivals for an International Cricket event in recent years.

Indian Cricket's governing body, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has not given any official confirmation regarding the visit of Rohit. Additionally, the Men in Blue have not announced their squad for the forthcoming Champions Trophy event yet 
Currently, the Rohit Sharma-led team is focused on their white-ball bilateral series assignment versus England, where they will be taking part in five T20 International matches and three One-Day International contests ahead of the upcoming 2025 Champions Trophy.
<h2>Group Stages  </h2>

Things are not going right for the Indian team currently. Apart from the poor performances on the field, there have been rumours of a rift between the players, head coach Gautam Gambhir as well and the chairman of the selection committee, Ajit Agarkar. 
Of late, there have been reports that claimed that Gautam Gambhir and Ajit Agarkar have been involved in various tussles over the selection. The head coach wants to be involved in the selection matters and wants BCCI to allow him players of choice. 
Gautam Gambhir also had a massive say in the team selection for the Australia tour. The head coach played a huge part in the selection of Nitish Kumar Reddy as well as Harshit Rana. He also selected the playing XI without much consultation during the tour, following which he has come under massive scanner. 
The chairman of the selection committee, Ajit Agarkar, on the other hand, reportedly doesn't want any interference. And this has led to a rift between the two. This surely has reflected on the team's performance which has been underwhelming in Tests and ODIs.
<h2>It’s a completely wrong statement; there is no rift between the chairman of selection (Ajit Agarkar) and the coach - BCCI Vice-President Rajiv Shukla</h2>
Amid all the rumours, BCCI Vice-President Rajiv Shukla rubbishef off all the reports. He said that there is no rift between Ajit Agarkar, Gautam Gambhir and Rohit Sharma. As quoted by PTI, he explained: 
“It’s a completely wrong statement; there is no rift between the chairman of selection (Ajit Agarkar) and the coach; there is no rift between captain and coach. This is all rubbish which is being spread in a section of media."
Rajiv Shukla also confirmed that Rohit Sharma will continue as the skipper and all the statements have been going wrong. He said that form is temporary and they are confident that he will be back. 
“This is also wrong that Rohit has insisted on captaincy. He is the captain. Form or lack of form is part and parcel of the game. These are phases, nothing new. When he saw he was out of form, he dropped himself from the fifth Test." 
Rohit Sharma has been going through a rough patch, but the batter has been training with the Mumbai Ranji Team. He will be next seen in action for India in the England ODI series.
