JOSH LITTLE will sit out Ireland’s T20 clashes against the West Indies.
The bowler pulled up in training ahead of the first of three Tests — due to begin today in Tyrone — with a niggle.
Little, who is due to line out for Middlesex in this season’s Vitality Blast, has been replaced by Graham Hume.
And T20 skipper Paul Stirling said: “He’s going back to England now to prepare over there and get himself right.
“But it brings opportunities for players who maybe didn’t expect to be around.”
Rain is forecast for the clash in Bready today — which may force an Irish rethink of approach.
Stirling admitted: “The forecast has changed over the last few days.
“We’ll just go into the game, prepare to play and know there might be a bit of rain about and go from there.”
