Cricket Ireland have received another major boost with the news that Sri Lanka will visit Dublin to play in two One-Day Internationals this summer.

The games will both take place at Clontarf on May 6th and 8th and will be used by Sri Lanka to prepare for their summer tour of England.

Following on from their three trophy wins last year, the two matches will provide the Irish squad with another chance to showcase their ability to compete against the top-ranked teams in the world and will also represent a chance for Cricket Ireland to boost their coffers.
