Cricket Ireland has today confirmed that Eimear Richardson will leave the Ireland Women squad and fly home to Dublin this evening.
Richardson joined the squad on Sunday and played in the first two matches of the series, however, after a family bereavement she has been granted leave to return to Ireland early. No replacement has been called up for the final T20I of the series on Thursday.
Richardson will re-join the squad again when they head to the UAE on Saturday ahead of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier.
Cricket Ireland, officially known as The Irish Cricket Union Company Limited by Guarantee, is the governing body for cricket on the island of Ireland. It oversees the national men’s and women’s teams and organizes the Inter-Provincial Series, Super 3s, and All-Ireland club competitions. Ireland achieved Test status for women in 2000 and for men in 2017 when it became a Full Member of the ICC.
