Ireland’s Mark Adair is set to be sidelined for up to six weeks after an MRI scan late last week revealed the extent of an injury he sustained during the T20 World Cup match against Namibia.
Mark Rausa, Head of Physiotherapy and Medical Services at Cricket Ireland, said:
“Mark underwent an MRI scan last Thursday, and a subsequent assessment has identified a significant enough tear in his oblique abdominal muscle that will rule him out of any cricket for the next six weeks. We will work hard on rehabilitation over the next while to hopefully get him back to full fitness for the West Indies series in January.”
“Paul Stirling also left the field of play in the match against Namibia after sustaining split finger webbing after stopping a ball. The injury is still being monitored, but he is expected to be clear to participate in the Abu Dhabi T10 League later in the month.”
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.
