Captain Gaby Lewis: Playing back-to-back tours in sub-continental conditions is not something teams in international cricket often experience. Following the New Zealand men’s Test team’s consecutive tours of Sri Lanka and India, the Ireland women’s team will now have the unique opportunity to undertake a similar itinerary.

Starting with a tour of Bangladesh comprising three T20Is and an equal number of ODIs, followed by a three-match ODI series against India in Rajkot in January 2025, this period marks a substantial phase of development for Ireland, who have experienced a notable upward trajectory.

Captain Gaby Lewis, who took on the role last month, stated that her team is fully committed to adjusting to the unique challenges of playing in the subcontinent, especially of facing India in a bilateral series for the first time since 2006.
