Ireland vs Zimbabwe Test Series 2024: Full schedule, squads, match timings and live-streaming details

Ireland is all set to host Zimbabwe for a one-off Test match series. The only Test will be played from July 25 to 29 at the Civil Service Cricket Club in Belfast.

Ireland’s last assignment in the longest format came in February when they faced Afghanistan at the Tolerance Oval in Abu Dhabi. A solid all-round effort from the Irish players saw them emerge victorious by six wickets. They will be looking to emulate the same performance against Zimbabwe at home.

Andrew Balbirnie will be leading the Irish side in the only Test against Zimbabwe. The likes of Harry Tector, Paul Stirling, Curtis Campher, and Lorcan Tucker will play a key role with the bat along with Balbirnie. They have an experienced bowling attack, comprising Mark Adair, Craig Young and Barry McCarthy.

Zimbabwe, on the other hand, last played a Test match way back in February 2023. They hosted the West Indies for a two-match Test series which ended in 1-0 in the favor of the visitors. Zimbabwe will be hoping to bring out their A-game on the Irish soil in the upcoming Test.

Craig Ervine has been handed the responsibility of leading Zimbabwe in the one-off Test against Ireland. The likes of Sean Williams, Ervine and Prince Masvaure will have to do the heavy-lifting in the batting department. Blessing Muzarabani, Tendai Chatara and Richard Ngarava will be leading the bowling attack.
