Ireland vs England 2019: Preview, when and where to watch, and full squads

After a good break from the international cricket, Eoin Morgan's side will kick start their Cricket World Cup 2019 preparations with a solitary ODI against their neighbours Ireland on Friday, May 3, 2019. The match will be hosted at the Malahide Cricket Club (The Village), located in the east cost of Ireland in Dublin.

This will also be England's third visit to Dublin, the previous two being in 2013 and 2015, and the visitors are yet to face a defeat at this venue.

Despite being Ireland's home ground, the hosts have not garnered much success here and have won just two out of 13 ODIs they have hosted since 2013. Both wins have come against Scotland in 2014.
