“We are delighted to see Toyota broaden their partnership with Cricket Ireland by becoming the title sponsors of the Toyota Super 3s. Having another mainstream brand like Toyota deepening their relationship with us and supporting the Super 3s series is strategically very important to Cricket Ireland as it fits in with our vision of making cricket mainstream in Ireland.

Cricket Ireland today confirmed the playing squads for the 2016 Toyota Super 3s Series. Speaking at today’s announcement, Cricket Ireland Women’s Head Coach Aaron Hamilton is looking forward to what promises to be a competitive series ahead.
Cricket Ireland Women’s Head Coach, Aaron Hamilton said:
“We are really looking forward to this year’s Toyota Super 3s Series. Last year was the first year of the competition and we saw some really high quality cricket. We can see from performances on the international stage against Australia last year, and the ICC World T20 this year that the Super 3s is already making an impact. It’s fantastic to have Toyota Ireland on board for the next three years. The Ireland selectors met over the weekend and finalised the squads for this year’s series, and have selected three balanced sides for what will be a really competitive competition.”
