Afghanistan-Ireland ODI series rescheduled

DUBLIN: The upcoming three-match ODI series between Afghanistan and Ireland, which was slated to start on January 18, has been rescheduled. The ODIs, part of ICC's World Cup Super League, were scheduled to be played at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on January 18, 21 and 23 but the start has been postponed by three days. They will now be played on January 21, 24 and 26 at the same venue. Richard Holdsworth, High performance director for Cricket Ireland, said that they have agreed to the new fixtures. "We were pleased to accommodate the Afghanistan Cricket Board's request for a slight extension of the tour understanding that the delayed arrival time of the Afghan side, combined with their quarantine requirements meant that the previous schedule could not be achieved," said Holdsworth on Wednesday.
