The Ireland cricket team toured Sri Lanka in April 2023 to play two Test matches.[1] [2] [3] This was Ireland's first ever Test series consisting of more than a single match.[4]

Initially, Ireland were scheduled to play a Test match along with two One Day International (ODI) matches.[5] [6] In March 2023, following a request from Sri Lanka Cricket,[7] the schedule was changed to include a second Test instead of the two ODI matches.[8] [9]

Sri Lanka defeated Ireland in a one-sided contest in the first Test match.[10] Sri Lanka also won the second test and claimed the series 2–0.[11]

Squads

Paul Stirling was selected in the Ireland's Test squad only for the second Test.[14]
