Craig Young and Curtis Campher have both been ruled out of the forthcoming ODI series against the West Indies, adding to Ireland Men’s injury list.
While playing for the North West Warriors against the Leinster Lightning in an Inter-Provincial Cup game in Oak Hill, Young, 35, suffered a hamstring injury. He will be replaced by Jordan Neill for this week’s three-match Men’s ODI series.
Additionally, Stephen Doheny has been brought in as a replacement for Campher, 26, who broke his finger while batting in the nets on Tuesday, May 20.
“It’s not ideal when you lose a player to injury just prior to a series, but unfortunately, both Young and Campher join a bit of a lengthy list on the rehabilitation table,” stated National Men’s Selector Andrew White. Most importantly, with Mark Adair, Graham Hume, Craig Young, Fionn Hand, and Curtis Campher all out, our seam assault is severely weakened.
“This series will truly test our depth, and rather than lamenting what we won’t have, I believe that these absences give some of our young players a chance to play at home against a top-tier opponent.”
