West Indian cricket team in Ireland in 2017

The West Indies cricket team toured Ireland in September 2017 to play a One Day International (ODI) match.[1][2][3] It was Ireland's first scheduled ODI match since they became a Full Member side in June 2017.[4] The teams last faced each other when they met in the group stage of the 2015 Cricket World Cup.[5] However, the match was called-off without a ball bowled due to rain and a wet outfield.[6][7] As a result, the West Indies needed to remain undefeated when they played five ODIs against England later in September to avoid the 2018 Cricket World Cup Qualifier; they were unsuccessful, and therefore failed to directly qualify for the 2019 Cricket World Cup.[8]
