Portugal and Azerbaijian are the other two teams in opposition for Ireland in Group A, with games against those sides scheduled for September.
Ireland's third and final match then sees them play in a friendly against World Cup hosts Qatar in Debrecen in Hungary on Tuesday 30th March.
Travers will join the squad looking to add to his two caps while loanee Long is just three shy of the 88-cap mark needed to break into the top ten highest appearance makers for Ireland.
