The Giant Killers: Ireland is famous for surprising big names in the cricket world. Pakistan and England have suffered defeats against Ireland in World Cup games, but that was in ODI format. Ireland has been a part of every T20 World Cup, since making its debut in the 2009 T20 World Cup, and this streak has been maintained by them as they have announced the squad for the T20 World Cup 2024.
