Ireland and Afghanistan are all set to face each other in the first match of a five-match ODI series on Wednesday, August 5, at the Bready Cricket Club in Bready, Northern Ireland. 

Notably, this series is historic as it marks the first time Afghanistan will tour Ireland for an ODI series. Although the two teams have previously played against each other in Ireland, those encounters were only in T20I format.

Afghanistan will begin a new chapter under captain Rahmat Shah, who will lead the ODI side for the first time. Meanwhile, star wicketkeeper-batter Rahmanullah Gurbaz has been named the vice-captain. 

Moreover, the visitors have received a major boost with the return of fast bowlers Fazalhaq Farooqi and Yamin Ahmadzai, strengthening their pace attack. However, spinner Mujeeb Ur Rahman has been ruled out due to injury.

On the other hand, Ireland will be led by Paul Stirling, who returns as captain after recovering from the injury he suffered during the T20 World Cup 2026. In addition, Jai Moondra, Ben Calitz and Byron McDonough have earned their maiden ODI call-ups. 

However, Ireland will miss several key players, including Josh Little, Matt Hollard, Craig Young, Barry McCarthy, Jordan Neill and David Delany, all of whom are unavailable because of injuries.
