(Cricket news) Cricket West Indies and Cricket Ireland have announced the changes to the match schedule for the ongoing CG Insurance One-Day International Series. The second CG Insurance ODI will now take place on Thursday 13 January while the third and final ODI is set to take place on Sunday 16 January at Sabina Park.
The change in schedule has occurred due to five COVID-19 positive cases as well as injuries in the Ireland camp ahead of the second CG Insurance ODI which was originally set to be held on 11th January. As a result, the one-off CG Insurance T20 International has been cancelled to accommodate the revised schedule to avoid impact on the West Indies team’s travel plans and subsequent fixtures.
The ODI matches between Ireland and West Indies form part of the ICC World Cup Super League with both teams having the opportunity to win points to gain automatic qualification for the 2023 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup. As things stand, West Indies lead the series 1-0 after their 24 run victory in the first CG Insurance ODI on Saturday.
REVISED MATCH SCHEDULE (at Sabina Park)
January 8: 1st CG Insurance ODI – West Indies won by 24 runs
January 13: 2nd CG Insurance ODI (9.30am local time)
January 16: 3rd CG Insurance ODI (9.30am local time)
