We’ve learned a lot from that tour in Ireland and we’re looking forward to applying those lessons. It’s going to be a great Opportunity for us to play cricket in a fantastic venue and we can’t wait to go full in. We will have to as we play the first match against strong Scotland, who have some fantastic players on the team.
