Ryle Nugent, Group Head of Sport, RTÉ said, “Cricket Ireland’s long journey to test status reaches a fitting conclusion with a first ever test match at home against Pakistan and it is appropriate that the national broadcaster should be there to bring highlights of this historic occasion to Irish viewers free-to-air. RTÉ Sport will also have highlights of both of Ireland’s home T20 Internationals versus India. It’s a fantastic start to the new chapter in Irish Cricket and RTÉ Sport are delighted to bring these games to the Irish audience.
