New Cricket Ireland academy manager quits job two days after accepting it

"I am very sorry to Cricket Ireland for the inconvenience, but I'd like to thank them for their understanding."

Ireland must resume their search for a new national academy manager after Chris Adams withdrew from the role he agreed to take up only two days ago.

Cricket Ireland, who revealed the appointment of the former England Test batsman on Wednesday, have had to announce Adams will not be joining them after all following a "change of heart".
