With a busy winter schedule on the horizon, this series offers a chance for some of England's rising stars to shine and stake their claim for a spot in the T20 World Cup squad.

Meanwhile, Ireland, led by Paul Stirling, will be looking to build on recent performances and make a statement against their rivals on home soil.

England vs Ireland TV channel and live stream

In the UK, the series will not be broadcast on traditional TV channels.

However, you can watch all three matches via the live stream on the Cricket Ireland Live YouTube channel.

England squad news and updates

England has made several changes to their squad for this series, with a number of key players being rested ahead of the winter tours.

The England squad will be led by Jacob Bethell, who becomes the youngest ever captain for the men's team at just 21 years old.

This is a chance for Bethell to showcase his leadership qualities.

In terms of injuries, fast bowler Saqib Mahmood has been ruled out of the series due to a knee injury that requires minor surgery.

His place has been taken by Scott Currie, who has earned his first senior England call-up after an impressive domestic season.

Ireland squad news and updates

Ireland has named a 14-man squad for the series, with Paul Stirling taking charge.

They will be without key players Mark Adair, Josh Little, and Fionn Hand, who are all recovering from injuries.

This opens the door for other members of the squad to step up and prove their worth.

The squad also includes a first-time call-up for batter/wicketkeeper Ben Calitz.

England vs Ireland head-to-head record

The two sides have only met twice in the T20I format, with Ireland famously winning their last encounter during the 2022 T20 World Cup.

England, however, has a dominant record in ODIs, with 11 wins to Ireland's two.
