The 2017 Ireland Tri-Nation Series was a One Day International cricket tournament that took place in Ireland in May 2017.[1] It was a tri-nation series between Ireland, Bangladesh and New Zealand.[2] The matches were in preparation for the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy, which took place in June 2017 in England and Wales.[3] Cricket Ireland announced the full fixtures in July 2016.[4] Ahead of the ODI fixtures, Ireland played two warm-up matches; a 50-over match against Bangladesh and a 25-over match against New Zealand.[5]

Prior to the tournament, Bangladesh's captain Mashrafe Mortaza was suspended for one match for maintaining a slow over-rate in the third ODI between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh in April 2017.[6] Shakib Al Hasan captained Bangladesh for the first match.[7]

New Zealand won the tournament, after they beat Ireland by 190 runs in the fifth ODI of the competition.[8]

Squads

New Zealand Cricket announced their ODI squad in early April 2017, with ten international players being unavailable because of their commitments to the 2017 Indian Premier League.[11] Jeetan Patel joined New Zealand's squad for their fourth ODI and players involved in the IPL joined the squad on a case-by-case basis.[11] Adam Milne, Corey Anderson and Matt Henry were added to New Zealand's squad ahead of the match against Ireland on 21 May 2017.[12]
