Indian captain Rahul Dravid has made it clear that his team would mean business against Ireland when they take on the hosts in the one-off one-dayer at the Civil Service Club ground in Belfast on Saturday.
"As international cricketers we are more used to playing on big stadiums and big concrete structures and to come back and play on such a ground is great," said Dravid.
"It's got a nice atmosphere for a relaxed game but I'm sure cricket is going to be pretty competitive."
In alien conditions, and against a team that did wonderfully well in the World Cup, Dravid described Ireland as 'dangerous opponents'.
"Having played in Scotland under such conditions I know it takes some time for teams coming in from the subcontinent to get used to it. The home team can be dangerous under such conditions.
"Ireland did well to reach the super eight of the World Cup. However, that also gave us an opportunity to see some of their players. We have some idea of what to expect."
