Stormont to host Zimbabwe Test but Australia series off

Stormont will host its first Test match when Ireland host Zimbabwe in July.

The Belfast venue will be the 123rd cricket ground to hold a men's Test match as Ireland face Zimbabwe in the format for the first time.

However, the proposed men's Twenty20 and one-day international series with Australia has been called off.

Cricket Ireland CEO Warren Deutrum said this "difficult decision", external was down to a lack of facilities.

Ireland's women will host ODI and T20 series with Sri Lanka and England in August and September.
