Cricket Ireland has emerged as a top-class professional sporting organisation. Its strategic plan to 2015 is ambitious and focused and we look forward to supporting their efforts to grow and strengthen the game in Ireland.”

We look forward to working with Toyota into the future on our journey to becoming a full member Test Nation.”
