In the ICC meeting yesterday, Ireland and Afghanistan were all given test status.

Test XI and Twelve countries allowed the country to play two. From now on they will be able to play Tests. Ireland have started thinking about the first Test match after getting the Test status. They want to play the first Test in their cricket history at the traditional Lords Stadium. They will talk to the England and Wales Cricket Board about this.Cricket Ireland chief executive Warren Deutron said, "We saw 25 thousand visitors in England-Ireland matches held in Lord's in May. When the sale of tickets is not easy, then there is a great deal of 25,000 visitors to the field. When I was in talks with the CEO of the England and Wales Cricket Board, I would remind him of the visitors who were present in the Ireland match against England at Lord's. Besides, we will also discuss the first test of our cricket history against England, whether it will play at Lord's. We do not have a busy schedule next year. There is also no England. But by 2019 we are thinking of playing our first test''.
