Ireland Adds Fionn Hand to Squad for Netherlands Tri-Series

DUBLIN: Graham Hume will not be travelling to the Netherlands for the Tri-Series because of delayed visa processing; instead, bowling all-arounder Fionn Hand will be a part of the Ireland Men’s T20I team.

Due to delays in the visa application procedure, Hume, who was born in South Africa and needs a Schengen Visa to perform in the Netherlands, will now miss the tour. Hume was picked last week in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup squad; this issue has no bearing on his selection.

The 25-year-old Fionn Hand, who has played 10 Twenty20 Internationals for the Ireland Men, was just added to the team for Tuesday’s Third T20I against Pakistan.
