    Wow! Didn't think they were that close to achieving that level. But congrats! I can see countries touring England will be adding on a trip to Ireland for a ODI series and test here and there. Playing full test series though... idk? In terms of being competitive, obviously better suited to the shorter forms of the game, but at test level, that is a very big step.

    Ireland's first men's Test match will be on home soil against Pakistan in May 2018, with the exact dates and venue still to be revealed.

    An agreement between the two countries was reached during the International Cricket Council meeting in Auckland
