Ireland have been placed in the same pool as hosts England for this summer’s ICC Women’s T20 World Cup.
The Irish side will also face Scotland, West Indies, New Zealand and Sri Lanka in Group B of the competition which begins on 12 June.
Ireland will get underway against the Scots on 13 June at Old Trafford Cricket Ground in Manchester, before taking on England at the Hampshire Bowl three days later.
New Zealand will be their opponents at the same venue on 19 June, followed four days later by a match against Sri Lanka at Bristol County Ground.
Ireland will round out their group campaign versus the West Indies in Bristol on 27 June.
“The last few months have been huge for us, with everything building towards securing our place at the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup in England and Wales this year,” said Ireland captain Gaby Lewis.
“To be back on the world stage, and so close to home, really is a dream come true. This will be a landmark moment for women’s cricket in Ireland.
“We can’t wait to see friends, family and supporters making the trip over. We want to make them proud – and hopefully inspire young players back home to believe that they can reach a World Cup themselves one day.”
Along with Scotland, Bangladesh and the Netherlands, Ireland were among the final four teams to book their places at the tournament. They sealed qualification at the start of this month after beating Thailand.
