England women begin a one-day international series against Ireland on 1 September, with the first match taking place in the north of Europe as the summer season continues.
Return to bilateral cricket
The series marks a return to bilateral international cricket for England after a period focused on the Hundred and, before that, the T20 World Cup. The one-day games represent a shift in format for both teams.
Ireland are coming off a disappointing World Cup campaign, though they did secure their first win of the tournament. They now switch their attention to the 50-over format.
England's middle-format tune-up
England are expected to use the series as an opportunity to tune up in the middle format, following a significant focus on short-form hitting. There may be some teething problems for both sides as they adjust.
