Ireland-Sri Lanka Test Match postponed

AFP Sports

Ireland's first ever Test match against Sri Lanka in February has been postponed over not being able to find a broadcast partner.

According to the ICC, all Test matches must be broadcasted.

The match is likely to take place at a later date in 2020, once an agreement is sealed, according to Warren Deutrom, CEO at Cricket Ireland.

This comes a day after Ireland withdrew from the T20 series against Afghanistan and opted for T20 match over a Test against Bangladesh.
