Celeste Raack and Louise Little return to the travelling party for Ireland’s first ever tour of Pakistan next month. Both players missed out on selection for the recent successful T20 World Cup qualifiers where Ireland secured their place in the 2023 event in South Africa.
Having travelled to the qualifiers in the UAE, Georgina Dempsey and Rachel Delaney drop out of the squad for the T20 section of the Pakistan tour, but the latter has been named in the One Day International squad. Sophie MacMahon, named for the T20s, will not play in the ODIs.
In a six-match tour featuring three ODIs - part of the ICC Women’s Championship - and three T20Is, Pakistan will see an Irish side, male or female, tour the country for the first time ever.
All six games will be played in the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.
