Craig Young has been forced to withdraw from the Ireland Men’s squad set to play against South Africa in two T20 Internationals this week, with Graham Hume brought in as a replacement.
The change came on the eve of the squad’s departure to Bristol for the series with the squad flying out of Dublin this afternoon.
Hume, 31, was handed a central retainer contract in May and made his one-day international debut this month against New Zealand.
