Cricket Ireland are in talks with the government in a bid to allow spectators to attend the upcoming World Cup Super League series with South Africa, the body’s high performance director has said.

The first of six games between the countries is on July 11 as the sides play three 50-over matches before three 20-over contests - games that could see the return of supporters to Irish sport, Richard Holdsworth has said.
