In typical Belfast style they have had a turn around.
The test V Zimbabwe will go now ahead but the limited overs games V
Australia will be 'ar an méar fhada' (postponed).
It will almost certainly rain anyway regardless of which variety of
cricket is happening.

25 july i read. is it 5 days? i think zimbabs will have a 4 day test vs england in may 2025.
its a long way for zimbabs to travel just for 1 match, no t20 or odi?

other than the rain spoiling things, i spose the dup will stage a protest over a flag issue.

I think it's 4 days. Irish cricket details are sketchy. The northern
union has postponed the beginning of the season until 4th May.

I wouldn't be a bit surprised if they did, they're bitching about
Irish language street signs in Belfast.

These two reports both say/imply that it's 5 days:
