India will play South Africa in a three-match limited overs cricket series
to be held in Ireland in late June and early July.
"The Irish Cricket Union (ICU) is proud that two such great cricketing
nations as India and South Africa are coming to Ireland to play each other
and against Ireland," ICU chief executive Warren Deutrom said today.
"Following last year's hugely successful match at Stormont
between Ireland and England, the ICU is delighted that top-class cricket
continues to come to Ireland, in the first-ever matches between full Test
cricket nations here," he said.
India and South Africa will warm-up with matches against hosts
Ireland on June 23 and 24 respectively before the three-match series in Belfast,
a statement on the ICU website said.
The three-match series will take place on June 26, June 29 and July 1.
Ireland, who made their debut at the World Cup in the Caribbean
recently, scored a shock win over Pakistan to knock the former champions
out in the first round.
Their upset World Cup win over Bangladesh earned them a entry
into the main International Cricket Council limited overs rankings.
