Paul Stirling ruled out of Namibia ODIs with broken finger, Tucker handed captaincy

Ireland have encountered a major hurdle on their ongoing tour of Namibia after regular skipper Paul Stirling was ruled out of the remaining matches due to a broken finger. Tim Tector has been called up to join the squad as his replacement, while Lorcan Tucker will take over the captaincy for the rest of the series.
Stirling suffered the injury during Ireland’s third ODI against Namibia on Tuesday in Windhoek. While fielding, he hurt his finger while fielding and was subsequently unable to play in Ireland’s chase. In the ongoing series, Ireland are struggling badly after getting a promising start with a 55-run victory in the first match.
Namibia, meanwhile, made a strong comeback, securing victories in the second and third matches to take a 2-1 lead in the five-match series. The fourth ODI will be held on Friday at Windhoek.
