Weather Disrupts Ireland‑Afghanistan One‑Day Match, Toss Not Held

A wet spell in Northern Ireland halted the opening ODI of the Ireland‑Afghanistan series on August 5. Persistent rain prevented the toss from being conducted at Bready Cricket Club, and after a short lull at 4:27 pm the rain resumed, leaving the match without a result. The second encounter is slated for August 7 on the same venue, while the rest of the five‑match series will shift to the Civil Service Cricket Club in Belfast.
