Craig Young has been drafted into Ireland’s squad for the T20 series against Zimbabwe after Mark Adair pulled out with a knee injury.
Key paceman Adair picked up the injury while fielding in Tuesday’s third and final ODI against the Chevrons in Harare.
Experienced bowler Young was part the Test and ODI squads on the tour of Zimbabawe but will now stay on for the three-match T20 series starting on Saturday.
It is the second Irish withdrawal for the series after opener Ross Adair was ruled out because of a calf injury with the uncapped Tim Tector called up as his replacement.
Harare is again the venue for the T20 series with the second game on Sunday before the final match on Tuesday.
Ireland started the tour with a 63-run victory over the hosts in a one-off Test encounter in Bulawayo.
Zimbabwe hit back by clinching a 2-1 win in the three-match ODI series at the Harare Sports Club.
