Ireland Wolves last International tour was in 2020, when they toured South Africa for their series against Namibia’s national men’s squad, which saw the debut of Curtis Campher for Irish colors, and he has quickly become an integral part of Ireland national men’s squad with his all-round abilities.
Ireland Wolves has been an integral part of Cricket Ireland’s development program to provide competitive international-standard cricket for fringe senior players, as well as provide the opportunity for development of younger talent coming through the international pathway system. The Wolves squad has registered List-A wins over Bangladesh and Zimbabwe senior men’s teams at home in 2019.
