Irish captain gives the world cricket body a public scolding

Cricket's governing body received a public dressing-down by the Irish captain on Twitter this morning as they tried to hail the team they may be excluding from the next World Cup.

Ireland's cricket World Cup campaign may have ended in Sunday's game against Pakistan, but the team have been widely commended for their performance, especially given the lack of games against top-tier nations, thanks to the way the sport is structured.
