The much-awaited series between Ireland and England got off to a disappointing start as the first game of the three-match ODI series was abandoned due to persistent rain, leaving players and fans alike eager for some cricketing action.
The teams are now set to relocate to Nottingham, for the second ODI scheduled for September 23. This series serves as the final opportunity for both teams to assess their strengths in the 50-over format before the ODI World Cup 2023 in India.
