"The lads head out of their hotel-bound bubble for the first time since arriving in Abu Dhabi. All training and exercise sessions still follow strict Covid conditions, but being outdoors is the proverbial breath of #FreshAir," the Irish team tweeted from the Abu Dhabi Stadium on arrival.

Former Afghanistan Cricket Board media manager, M Ibrahim Momand tweeted, "Guests are waiting the hosts! @Irelandcricket has landed in the UAE and started their training for @EmiratesCricket before taking on the other host @ACBofficials which is yet to be announced or aquire UAE visas."

The two teams are expected to play three One-day Internationals between January 18-23 at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
