Josh Little called up by Ireland after four players test positive ahead of US-Windies tour

Irish fast bowler Joshua Little who is currently plying his trade in the Lanka Premier League 2021, has been called up to bolster the squad that has left for the combined tour of the United States and West Indies which will begin December 22. According to a Cricket Ireland media release, four players i.e. Barry McCarthy, George Dockrell, Harry Tector and Gareth Delany have tested positive in the pres series testing and fast bowler Craig Young was identified as a close contact of Covid-19 positive persons and has therefore not been allowed to travel with the team. While McCarthy and Dockrell tested positive during pre-series testing, Tector and Delany, who have been in Florida playing the US T20 Open tournament-tested positive before linking up with the side which landed in Miami a few days ago. The pair have begun their 10-day in-room isolation already. McCarthy and Dockrell are also expected to link up with their teammates in the USA soon. Along with players, Assistant coach Gary Wilson has also not been able to travel with the team after he received a false positive report on his pre-series Covid test. The former Irish international is being re-tested, and if clear, will fly out on Sunday. "We are pleased to have our squad arrive in Miami and are all looking forward to the series ahead,” Richard Holdsworth, high-performance director for Cricket Ireland, said. "We have experienced a few last-minute complications related to COVID, but with the extended travelling squad that we have taken, and the recall of Josh Little from Sri Lanka, we don't foresee any issues with the series proceeding as scheduled,” he further added. After playing three ODIs and two T20Is in the US, the Irish team will travel to the Caribbean and play West Indies in three ODIs, between January 8 and 14, and a one-off T20I scheduled for January 17.

T20 World Cup 2021: Shane Getkate, Barry McCarthy left out of Ireland’s final 15 man squad

Cricket Ireland announced its final 15 man squad for the T20 World Cup 2021. There was no change in the 18 man squad announced last month, only Shane Getkate, Graham Kennedy, Barry McCarthy were put on the reserves list to make the squad in adherence to the ICC rules. Announcing the changes, Andrew White, Chair of National Men’s Selectors said that head coach Graham Ford’s opinion was taken and a strong squad was chosen based on the conditions. “It was always going to be a very difficult decision to reduce the squad from 18 to 15 – every player out in Dubai at the moment has proven their talent and deserved their chance. The three players who have missed out will still have a role to play in supporting the core squad, and stay on within the team bubble as cover in case of injury or illness,” White said in a press release issued by Cricket Ireland. “Part of the selectors’ decision-making was around the conditions in both Abu Dhabi and Sharjah, but we also factored in [Head Coach] Graham Ford’s on-the-ground assessment of what he believes to be our most effective combination of players to win games of cricket,” he added. The Ireland team, which is currently playing a three-match T20I series against UAE at the ICC Academy Ground in Dubai, will play two warm-up matches, on October 12 vs Bangladesh and on October 14 vs Papua New Guinea. Their World Cup campaign begins with a clash against fellow European the Netherlands on October 18 at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi.
