Afghanistan will tour Ireland for five-match T20 series starting on 9 August. Hosts have the privilege of playing an enormous amount of international cricket lately, against the stronger teams like India, New Zealand and pretty recently South Africa. Despite losing all these series, Ireland have emerged as a rational and convincing side. On the contrary, Afghanistan have been phenomenal in its previous few series. They defeated Zimbabwe in a three-match T20 series by 3-0 in June and had a series tie against Bangladesh in two-match T20 series earlier in march this year. Both sides will look to improve their game and win the series before entering the T20 World Cup which is scheduled to take place in October.
