DUBLIN: Ireland’s cricket board said they have cancelled a multi-format series against Afghanistan this year due to financial reasons.
West Indies will play six limited-overs matches in Ireland in May-June before England arrive in September for a three-match Twenty20 series. Ireland were then scheduled to host Afghanistan for one test, three ODIs and three T20s in July.
“One planned series that won’t go ahead for financial reasons is against Afghanistan,” Cricket Ireland chief executive Warren Deutrom said after announcing the team’s summer schedule on Tuesday. (Reuters)
