Cricket

Initially staged every two years, the ICC Champions Trophy is being held this year – in Pakistan and UAE – for the first time since 2017. It involves the eight top one-day cricket international teams, which, unfortunately, does not include Ireland. The two-and-a-half week tournament begins in Karachi on Wednesday with Pakistan hosting New Zealand, with the other nations competing being India, Afghanistan, Australia, Bangladesh, England and South Africa. – Feb 19th-Mar 9th, Sky Sports

Soccer

After a 1-0 victory in Norway, Shamrock Rovers have a golden opportunity to reach the last 16 of the Uefa Conference League when they host Molde in the second-leg tie at Tallaght Stadium. This has been a fairytale European journey so far for the Dublin club, and an incredible advertisement for the domestic league in Ireland. – Thursday, Premier Sports & TNT Sports

Boxing

Last October, Artur Beterbiev won a majority decision over Dmitry Bivol to become the first undisputed light heavyweight champion in more than 20 years. Round two of the rivalry between the two Russian fighters will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia this weekend. A stacked card also includes IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois taking on Joseph Parker. – Saturday, Sky Sports Office
