Derbyshire wicketkeeper-batsman Gary Wilson has been named in Ireland’s squads for their ICC Intercontinental Cup, ODI and Twenty20 international fixtures in March.
Ireland first travel to the United Arab Emirates at the end of February for a 10-day training camp, where they will play the hosts in two ODIs on 2 March and 4 March.
The Irish then travel to India for three T20Is and five ODIs against Afghanistan, all in Greater Noida. The tour concludes with a first-class ICC Intercontinental Cup fixture versus Afghanistan, starting on 28 March.
Ireland currently sit top of the ICC Intercontinental Cup standings after winning all four of the fixtures to date. They now face second place Afghanistan looking to cement their place at the top.
Wilson will then return to The 3aaa County Ground, Derby, to join his Derbyshire teammates ahead of the 2017 season, which starts with the visit of Northamptonshire on Friday 14 April.
