• West Indies-Ireland ODI postponed

    Published on

    The second ODI between West Indies and Ireland in Jamaica has been called off following two further positive Covid-19 tests in the Irish camp.

    Tuesday’s game in Kingston was postponed “following recent testing, and two players being ruled out due to injury, resulting in Ireland having a severely depleted squad”, Cricket West Indies and Cricket Ireland said in a joint statement.

    The two bodies are reviewing the match schedule and “working to explore all possibilities for the series to be completed”.

    “The five members of the Ireland team who have returned positive Covid-19 results remain in isolation under the care and supervision of the medical teams,” read the statement.

    The two teams were scheduled to play three ODIs followed by a T20I over nine days at Sabina Park, Kingston.

    The West Indies won the opening ODI by 24 runs this past Saturday.
