It is officially Test cricket season as Ireland and New Zealand kick off action in a one-off Test at the Civil Service Club in Belfast from Wendesday (May 27).
This is a historic clash as the two teams are playing a Test match for the first time in history against each other.
For New Zealand, it marks the perfect preparation for the upcoming three-match Test series against England, which will start on June 4 with the series opener set to be played at Lord’s in London. The Tom Latham-led team will get an ideal warm-up in similar conditions, while Ireland will get a chance to play a rare Test match against one of cricket’s superpowers.
