Next October and November, 10 nations will meet in India for the 13th edition of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup. Eight are already known, with the remaining two to be decided over the next three weeks in Zimbabwe. Ireland are one of the 10 competitors in the qualifying tournament, and will need to produce some top-class performances to claim one of the final two berths – particularly with countries such as Sri Lanka and West Indies also in the running.
The action gets underway on Tuesday afternoon with three Group One races, while Wednesday includes the Prince of Wales’s Stakes. Thursday is Ladies Day off the track while, on it, flat racing’s elite stayers battle in the Gold Cup. On Friday, the Coronation Stakes and Commonwealth Cup are the highlights, while the £1 million Platinum Jubilee Stakes takes centre stage on Saturday. A feast for racing fans.
