Cricket Ireland cancelled today’s interprovincial T20 match between Munster Reds and Northern Knights in Cork as part of a “safety-first approach” to Covid regulations.

The sides were due to meet at the Mardyke at 1.30pm today but the match was cancelled in what Cricket Ireland called “a precautionary measure that relates distantly to the recent positive test of a player at Northamptonshire County Cricket Club.”
