Ireland World Twenty20 Qualifying Squad Announced

The squads for the World Twenty20 Qualifier tournament in Dubai and Abu Dubai from February 9th to 15th have been announced. Eight teams are battling for two places. The winner of the tournament will be placed in Group C, with the runner-up appearing in Group D alongside England. The World Twenty20 itself takes place in the West Indies from April 30th to May 16th this year.
