Two other Ireland cricketers Simi Singh and Ben White, who had missed the first ODI against West Indies on Saturday after testing positive via a routine antigen test, are still awaiting the results of their RT-PCR tests after a service delay.

Meanwhile, spinner Andy McBrine, who had to retire hurt after being struck on the helmet while batting on 34 in the first ODI, will have follow-up assessments over the next 48 hours for a "mild concussion episode".<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The release said that his symptoms were "very minor" and that he would be in line for selection for the second ODI if he passes his assessment on Monday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
