The Ireland cricket team toured the West Indies in January 2020 to play three One Day International (ODI) and three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches.[1] [2] [3] The West Indies Cricket Board announced the tour dates in September 2019.[4] [5] In November 2019, Andrew Balbirnie was named as Ireland's captain across all three formats of international cricket.[6] [7]

Ahead of the first ODI match, the International Cricket Council (ICC) announced the use of technology to monitor front-foot no-balls for all matches during the tour.[8] The third umpire called the front-foot no-balls, communicating this with the on-field umpires.[9] It was used as a trial to see if it can be implemented further, without a detriment to the flow of the game.[10] The trial was previously used in December 2019, in the matches between India and the West Indies.[11]

The West Indies won the first two ODIs to take an unassailable lead in the series.[12] The West Indies won the third ODI by five wickets, winning the series 3–0.[13] It was the West Indies first ODI series win at home since beating Bangladesh in August 2014.[14] For the first T20I, Jacqueline Williams was named as the third umpire, becoming the first woman to officiate as a third umpire in a men's international cricket match.[15] The T20I series was drawn 1–1, after the second match finished in a no result due to rain.[16]

Squads

Oshane Thomas and Obed McCoy also travelled with the West Indies team for the ODI matches, as part of a development initiative with Cricket West Indies.[21]
