Cricket: Ireland cancels Afghanistan’s tour for financial reasons

# Cricket: Afghanistan hopes to visit Ireland for a multi-format series next year after the Irish had to cancel this year’s tour due to financial reasons. Ireland was scheduled to host Afghanistan for a one-off Test, three one-day internationals and three T20s in August. Cricket Ireland’s CEO, Warren Deutrom, says the decision is part of the management of short-term budgetary constraints. Afghanistan says the two countries are exploring suitable options for the rescheduling of the tour and hope to find a mutually convenient window.
