Under the ICC’s Future Tour Program (FTP), Australia’s senior men’s cricket team was scheduled to tour Ireland for three ODIs and a one-off T20 match in August-September this year. However, Australia’s tour of Ireland is stuck in limbo due to shortage of funds and lack of match venues.

It is noteworthy that when last time Australia was on England tour for the ODI series, the only ODI match was played between Ireland and Australia in England. However, now before this big tour of Australia, Ireland can host a tri-series with Netherlands and Scotland.

So, after winning the only test match against Afghanistan, they also have to play a test match with Zimbabwe, but due to lack of resources, the venues for these matches have not been finalized yet.

Richard Holdsworth gave a big statement regarding this tour of Australia

On the other hand, Cricket Ireland’s High Performance Director Richard Holsworth says that the series will not be shifted to England. “Broadly speaking, it’s a real challenge to distribute what we have in FTP,” Holsworth said as quoted by ESPN Cricinfo. We have more matches proposed than the number of venues we have got.

To be honest, after Covid the cost of organizing matches in Ireland has increased significantly. Hotel prices and the cost of temporary infrastructure at the stadium have varied greatly.

Apart from this, on shifting the Australia tour to England, Holsworth said – England’s cricket schedule is very busy at that time. Obviously we are not going to consider playing a team like Australia on a small county ground in England. But we are thinking about all those options whether we can host Australia in the coming summer?

In the match, India won the toss and decided to bat first. Australia vs India, 1st Test (Image Credit- Twitter X) India is facing Australia in the first match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series from November 22 at the Optus Stadium, Perth. In the match, stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah has won the toss and decided to bat first, which has not proved right for the team. So when Team India, which had scored 150 runs in the first innings, came out to bowl, fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has performed amazingly. Bumrah gave India its first success by dismissing Nathan McSweeney (10) in the third over itself. However, after this, there was a golden opportunity to dismiss Marnus Labuschagne, who came to bat at number three, on zero, but due to a mistake by Kohli, Team India could not dismiss him. Let us tell you that on the fifth ball of the same over being bowled by Bumrah, Labuschagne, who was on strike, was facing his first ball, and while defending, the ball went lightly from the bat towards slip and into the hands of Virat Kohli. Although Kohli took this catch, he could not handle the ball till the end and the catch was dropped. It will be worth seeing that Labuschagne gets this lease of life, otherwise the Indian team does not face a burden like the World Cup 2023.
