Lorcan Tucker hoping Ireland can build on 'good, not great' 2020

Ireland's cricketers get their 2021 action underway next week as preparations continue for their One Day Internationals against the UAE and Afghanistan.

The Irish players are in Abu Dhabi for the series and after a number of days of isolation at the team hotel, are now training ahead of Friday's first ODI against UAE. This is followed by three more games before a three-match series against Afghanistan, which is part of the World Cup Super League - the first opportunity teams have to qualify for the 2023 World Cup.
