Ireland have announced a full strength squad with Joyce, N'O'Brien set to return with Mulder possibly debuting.

Also interesting series this as after this they play the intercontinental cup where Ireland are leading the table with 19 points and if they win the cup will play the least ranked Test team (Zimbabwe) for test status to be played in 2018.

Also, to add on, the BCCI gave this ground to the ACB for their "new" home ground other than Sharjah.

Rashid Khan you beauty. 2 overs 3 runs and 5 wickets. From 60/2 to 93/9 is some bowling. Afghanistan 2-0. Go Men in Blue 2

Afghanistan, my second favorite team!

Yes but they need to start playing more multiday games

Ireland win 4 out of 4 intercontinental matches (4 day game) with 19 points more than Afghanistan',test cricket is different ball game than ODI.Indias Zaheer khan believes no way, you can selects test team with the performance of your
ODI // T20i team.

Ends of march month** 4 day match will be play between Afghanistan vs Ireland at greater NOIDA,winner will play vs Last team of test ranking (ICC) 2018 so I assume probably

Afghanistan vs Zimbabwe or
Ireland vs. Zimbabwe

(too early to say but that is how they will birth in test )
Looser team of March ** 4 day game also might qualify for test matches
Ireland vs England in June 2018 not even rules out.

 

[Sunderpune]

Ireland already there for test birth and Afghanistan will be also hot Favorites for test birth, but they are less pre pare for test format

Minor team often become bunnies of stronger team.[DOUBLEPOST=1489278506][/DOUBLEPOST]
