Ireland’s maiden match as cricket’s 11th Test nation comes 11 years after their famous win over Pakistan at the 2007 World Cup.

The historic Test match in Malahide was delayed after the first day was a washout, leaving Cricket Ireland to refund all those who had bought tickets.

Pakistan are using their trip to Ireland as preparation for the upcoming two-Test series against England.

Ireland squad: William Porterfield (capt), Andrew Balbirnie, Ed Joyce, Tyrone Kane, Andrew McBrine, Tim Murtagh, Kevin O'Brien, Niall O'Brien (wk), Boyd Rankin, James Shannon, Craig Young, Paul Stirling, Stuart Thompson, Gary Wilson (wk).
