Ireland are all set to play their maiden Test against Pakistan from May 11 to May 15, 2018. Pakistan will visit Ireland for the Test just before their tour to England in May 2018.
Ireland and Afghanistan were granted Test status in 2017. Cricket Ireland on January 25 have unveiled their Test jersey on Twitter with head coach Graham Ford.

Ireland’s Test jersey includes the logo of Ireland Cricket as well as their primary sponsor, Turkish Airlines. It also features a representation under the shamrock to mark the historic occasion.
Ireland, after playing Pakistan, will focus mainly on their World Cup qualifier which will be hosted in Zimbabwe from March 2018. Ford has named a team of 15 experienced men to qualify for the World Cup for the fourth consecutive time.
India will also tour Ireland for two T20Is starting from June 27.
