South Africa in Ireland, 2007

South Africa set to field big guns for Ireland series

South Africa are expected to name a full-strength squad for the three-match ODI series against India starting in June, with all players with county commitments set to be released for national duty. South Africa will also play a one-off match against Ireland at Belfast on June 24.

"The matches against India are official ODIs," Gerald Majola, Cricket South Africa's chief executive, told Supercricket. "So the team will be at full strength and those players taking part in the County Championship will be expected to return to duty."

The series is part of India's off-shore commitments in neutral venues, for which the Board of Control for Cricket in India sold the telecast rights last year to a sports channel to broadcast a minimum of 25 matches between April 2006 and March 2011. The Ireland tour will be South Africa's first international series since the World Cup, though a few players will represent a combined African XI for the Afro-Asia Cup to be held in India early June.

The three-match series will be held on June 26, 29 and July 1.
