Mooney to miss T20 finals with broken fingers

All-rounder John Mooney is out of Ireland’s squad for the next month’s World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka due to a fractured finger.

Mooney is the only major omission from an experienced 15-man squad, that includes soon-to-be retired Boyd Rankin, after it was confirmed the 30-year-oldwould be out for up to three months.

“It’s disappointing for both John [Mooney] and the team,” coach Phil Simmons said.
