Cricket Ireland CEO discusses Ireland's fixture uncertainty and the financial picture for 2024
Was a reminder that a strong pyramid structure is needef
Full member status came with the golden generation but within 2 years most had retired
Now just getting back to that place, but a large portion of the team are now 30+
So there is a need to have a strong pyramid system of bringing players forward and be confident they can perform rather than hope
Finally Australia, can't see them coming over just to play Ireland
They are next due in Europe for 2027 Ashes
World love to see Ireland agree (and fulfil!) to host a pre Ashes Test
A hell of a lot of words to say that they can't do their job properly.
Everyone knew yonks ago that they weren't getting the full allocation from the ICC except for the board it seems.
