The Ireland cricket team visited the United States in December 2021 to play three One Day International (ODI) and two Twenty20 Internationals (T20I) matches at Central Broward Park in Florida.[1] [2] It was the first time the United States was to host a full series with a Test nation,[3] [4] and the first time since 1973 that the Ireland cricket team have visited the US.[5] Following the matches in the United States, the Ireland team then toured the West Indies for a three-match ODI series.[6] [7]

The United States recovered from 16/4 in the first T20I to reach 188/6.[8] Ireland were unable to chase down the target, resulting in a 26-run win for the Americans.[9] The visitors levelled the series with a 9-run win in the second T20I, with Lorcan Tucker scoring his second half-century of the series.[10]

A practice match, scheduled to be played on 20 December 2021, was cancelled due to COVID-19 issues within the squads.[11] The first ODI was cancelled after a match official tested positive for COVID-19 and other officials were deemed close contacts.[12] On 28 December 2021, the remaining ODI matches were each moved back by one day after a number of positive COVID-19 tests in the traveling parties,[13] before the series was ultimately cancelled.[14] The curtailment of the series resulted in financial losses for USA Cricket, contributing to its year-end debt load.[15] [16] [17]

Squads

Josh Little was initially left out of Ireland's T20I squad due to his participation in the 2021 Lanka Premier League.[22] However, on 17 December 2021, he was recalled to the team.[23] Ahead of Ireland's departure to the United States, Craig Young was identified as close contact of someone with a positive COVID-19 case.[24] Therefore, per Northern Irish travel guidance, Young was unable to travel for ten days, ruling him out of the T20I matches.[25] Kyle Phillip was named as a reserve player for the United States.[26]

Ahead of the series, the United States made several changes to their squad.[27] Karima Gore, Jaskaran Malhotra and Aaron Jones were all ruled out of the T20I matches due to COVID-19, while Rusty Theron was ruled out due to a groin injury.[28] They were replaced by Ritwik Behera, Yasir Mohammad, Ali Sheikh, and Ryan Scott in their T20I squad,[29] and Kyle Phillip withdrew due to work commitments.[30] Marty Kain was added to the ODI squad, and Sushant Modani was added to the T20I squad.[31]
