“After the success of the recently concluded ICC Women’s T20 European World Cup Qualifiers and the Ireland v Scotland ODI/T20I ‘Celtic Challenge Series’ it is a great honour to be chosen by Cricket Ireland for the White Ball Preparation camp for the Men’s National side. Ireland will be preparing for a 3 ODI and 3 T20I series against Zimbabwe in early December, for which we wish them well.”
The players and coaches will be accommodated in some of the privately-owned Villas at Desert Springs and the resort’s executive chef will be on hand to cater for the special dietary requirements of individual players dining in the Crocodile Club Restaurant
