Ireland arrange friendlies before Pakistan Test
IRELAND will play two intra-squad warm-up games later this month before their historic inaugural Test match against Pakistan in May.

“These two warm-up matches are clearly very important for all involved, particularly by providing contenders for the Test team to gain valuable game time and get into good touch,” Ford said.
