Ireland's Mark Adair Ruled Out For Six Weeks

Wednesday, 3 November 2021 14:37

It'll see him in a fitness battle to play against the West Indies in January.

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.”
