Ireland captain Stirling out of Namibia series
Paul Stirling had half-centuries in both of his innings in the Namibia series Ireland captain Paul Stirling will miss the final two games of his side's one-day international series in Namibia after fracturing his finger. The 36-year-old sustained the injury while fielding during his side's loss in the third ODI on Tuesday, a result that leaves his side trailing their hosts 2-1 in the five-match series. Tim Tector, brother of middle-order batter Harry Tector, has been called up as a replacement. The younger Tector sibling is uncapped in ODIs, although he has made eight appearances for the side in T20 cricket, averaging 17 in the shorter format.
