Cusack ruled out of Cricket Ireland squad

Alex Cusack has been ruled out of Cricket Ireland's squad for their Intercontinental Cup and two ODIs against Canada.

Cusack requires surgery to cure a long-standing injury problem. He is suffering from chronic compartment syndrome, which happens when the muscles do not have room to expand in the fascia, which surrounds the muscle nerves. His recovery period post-surgery is expected to be around six weeks.
