The reigning world champions, India, are set to face Ireland in two T20 Internationals scheduled for June 26 and 28, 2026. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the matches on Saturday, highlighting their significance as a precursor to India's upcoming white-ball series in England.
Both games will occur in Belfast, marking the Indian team's return to the venue for the first time since 2007. BCCI Secretary Jay Shah noted the historical context, as India last played in Belfast three times over the past eight years. The tour reaffirms strong cricket ties between India and Ireland.
This announcement follows Ireland's confirmation of the series, which coincides with their strategic goals for an exciting summer of cricket. Ireland's new captain looks to implement a fresh methodology, starting with this high-profile series against India.
