Irish to host England in Belfast

IRELAND will host England in One-Day cricket international at Stormont, Belfast, on Thursday August 27 in what organisers expect to be a sell out.

England will have finished their final Ashes Test against Australia at the Oval just three days before and will take this opportunity to warm up for their NatWest series against the tourists.

Warren Deutrom, Cricket Ireland CEO, praised RSA Insurance for their sponsorship of the event.
