Ireland's One-Day International series with the USA has been cancelled due to Covid-19 related complications, cricket officials from the two nations have announced.

While no player from either side tested positive, two members of the Ireland backroom staff contracted the virus as did a number of the players' partners, meaning some of the Ireland squad were deemed close contacts.
