Ireland staged a "home" white-ball series against South Africa in Abu Dhabi last year in a bid to overcome what Deutrom described at the time as "current infrastructure constraints" given the lack of a permanent home stadium and the high cost of temporary infrastructure.

Ireland has scrapped plans to host a multi-format series against Afghanistan this year due to "financial reasons," amid a packed summer schedule featuring historic tours by England's Men's T20I team and Zimbabwe's Women's squad.
