Irish cricket team in South Africa in 2016–17

International cricket tour

The Irish national cricket team toured South Africa in September 2016. They played two One day internationals, one each against South Africa and Australia.[1] They lost heavily in both matches, by 206 runs against South Africa and by nine wickets against Australia. Their match against South Africa was the first ODI to use the updated rules to the DRS system, which brought more of the stumps into play for LBW decisions.[2]

AB de Villiers was originally named as the captain for the game against Ireland.

He was replaced by Dwaine Pretorius.[7]
