England head to Ireland for the final act of the 2025 summer of international cricket.

With Harry Brook and the other all-format players rested in preparation for the Ashes, Jacob Bethell is set to become England's youngest captain at the age of 21 as he leads the Three Lions in their first T20I series on the Emerald Isle.

The two teams have only met twice in the format previously – a 2010 contest that ended in no result and Ireland's famous 2022 World Cup win.

The visitors may be without a number of their star players but still boast a talent-packed squad that will be high on confidence after racking up their highest T20 score in a 146-run victory over South Africa last week.

Ireland will hope to recapture some of the magic of their 2022 upset despite the absence of a number of key bowling options due to injuries.

The hosts do boast some exciting batting options, however, including debutant Ben Calitz and big-hitting opener Ross Adair.
