New Delhi, Dec 24 (Ians) During the 2023 Ipl mini-auction in Kochi on Friday, left-arm pacer Josh Little was roped in by defending champions Gujarat Titans for Inr 4.4 crore. From his base price of Inr 50 lakh, Little got a deal which was 8.8 times more than the amount he went into the auction.
Through this, Little becomes the first Ireland player to earn an Ipl contract. Little, 23, made his international debut for Ireland in 2016 and has since played two ODIs and 53 T20Is for his country.
He burst onto the international radar in May 2019, where in his Odi debut when he claimed 4-45 in a devastating spell of pace bowling against England in Dublin — which saw him remove three of the top four batters, including then-captain Eoin Morgan for a duck.

Dublin, Feb 9 (Ians) Zimbabwe Cricket and Cricket Ireland have mutually agreed to postpone the forthcoming limited-overs bilateral series due to the ongoing Covid-19 situation in Zimbabwe.
Ireland were due to fly to Harare on March 28 and play a three-match T20I series, followed by as many ODIs in April.
The postponed ODIs were not part of the Icc World Cup Super League and those fixtures against Zimbabwe are scheduled to be played in Ireland this summer.
"We're obviously disappointed, but to be honest, it is not an unexpected announcement from our Zimbabwean counterparts. We appreciate their efforts and willingness to try and make the tour possible, but in the end the health and safety of players and support staff must be of primary consideration," Richard Holdsworth, High Performance Director for Cricket Ireland, said in a statement.
"We'll now look at whether alternate fixtures can be arranged during that period, which...

Dublin, Nov 18 (Ians) Scotland women's limited-overs series against Ireland, slated to be played from next week in Spain, has been postponed amid continued concerns about the prevalence of Covid-19.
The teams were due to play two 50-over matches and three T20Is at the La Manga resort, in what was believed to be the first-ever international cricket to be staged in Europe in November.
"Despite significant work and planning from Cricket Ireland, Cricket Scotland, the venue and sports bodies in both nations to mitigate risks in regard to Covid-19, Cricket Scotland advised that the decision to withdraw from the series was made due to concerns at the continuing and evolving high levels of the virus in Scotland, and in light of updated specialist advice received in the last 24 hours on the risks to the players in the current circumstances," Cricket Ireland said in a statement on Tuesday.

Dublin, Nov 13 (Ians) Stuart Barnes has been appointed as the assistant head coach and national bowling lead of Ireland men's cricket team.
Cricket Ireland has awarded an initial three-year contract to Barnes which will see him in the position until the end of the current World Cup cycle. He departs Somerset county cricket club and joins head coach Graham Ford in what may potentially be the busiest period ever for Ireland men, given the bilateral fixtures to be played across three formats and the chance to compete in three World Cup events.
"It was a great experience to link up with Graham Ford and the Ireland team for the recent Odi series against England at the Ageas Bowl. I loved the challenge of the international game and adding value wherever I could. The opportunity to continue this on a full time basis for the next three years is incredibly exciting...
