The Afghanistan cricket team toured Ireland in August 2022 to play five Twenty20 International (T20I) matches.[1] [2] Initially, the tour included a one-off Test match,[3] but this was dropped from the fixtures when Cricket Ireland announced the schedule in March 2022.[4] Cricket Ireland confirmed the dates and venues for the tour later the same month.[5] The matches were used by both teams as preparation for the 2022 ICC Men's T20 World Cup.[6]

Ireland won the series 3–2 after claiming a victory in a rain-affected final match.[7] George Dockrell was named player of the series.[8]

Squads

The Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) also named Qais Ahmad, Nijat Masood, Usman Ghani and Mujeeb Ur Rahman as reserve players for the series.[11] Usman Ghani and Mujeeb Ur Rahman, who were only temporarily named as reserves, were later added to the main squad once they received clearance regarding their visas.[12] Simi Singh was added to Ireland's squad after the third T20I, in place of Andy McBrine.[13]
