Home advantage may be a factor, in theory, however, I believe our squad will acclimatise quickly and will be up for the challenge."Said Warren Deutrom, Chief Executive of Cricket Ireland, "We have been working closely with the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), security consultants and local diplomatic services to ensure the upcoming tour is comprehensively planned out as to the health, safety and security of players and coaches, as well as providing advice to travelling families and fans. We have also liaised with the cricket boards of countries that have recently toured and are satisfied that the welfare of our squad will be a top priority for the hosts."But, most of all, this is about cricket and a wonderful opportunity for our senior squad to play in such a passionate cricket-loving country as Pakistan. Ireland and Pakistan have a deep cricket bond in both women's and men's cricket - and we know our players are extremely excited to play there for the first time in just a few weeks."We also extend our sincerest thanks to the PCB for being so collegiate and proactive in hosting us for these six matches."The Squads:The 15-player squads for the two formats are:ODI squad: Laura Delany (capt), Rachel Delaney, Amy Hunter, Shauna Kavanagh, Arlene Kelly, Gaby Lewis, Louise Little, Jane Maguire, Cara Murray, Leah Paul, Orla Prendergast, Celeste Raack, Eimear Richardson, Rebecca Stokell, Mary Waldron.T20I squad: Laura Delany (capt), Amy Hunter, Shauna Kavanagh, Arlene Kelly, Gaby Lewis, Louise Little, Sophie MacMahon, Jane Maguire, Cara Murray, Leah Paul, Orla Prendergast, Celeste Raack, Eimear Richardson, Rebecca Stokell, Mary Waldron.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
