Ireland Men’s head coach Heinrich Malan is isolating after testing positive for COVID-19 just days out from Ireland Men’s One-Day International series against New Zealand to be played at Malahide from 10-15 July 2022.

Malan has been a close contact of a COVID-positive person in recent days and had – as a precaution knowing the series was approaching – restricted his movements and limited his engagement with the players and coaching staff.

While reporting no symptoms, Malan did test positive today and has begun his isolation in line with government guidelines. He will not enter camp until he completes his isolation and tests negative.

In the interim, the coaching staff of Gary Wilson and Ryan Eagleson will oversee preparations for the upcoming fixtures.
