International cricket tour

The Afghanistan cricket team toured Ireland in May 2019 to play two One Day International (ODI) matches.[1][2] Both matches were played at the Stormont Cricket Ground in Belfast.[3][4] The ODI fixtures were part of Afghanistan’s preparation for the 2019 Cricket World Cup.[5][6] In April 2019, the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) named Gulbadin Naib as the team’s new ODI captain, replacing Asghar Afghan.[7][8] The series was drawn 1–1, with Ireland winning the first match and Afghanistan winning the second.[9]
