Ireland’s cricket team has had bad news before their three-match ODI series against the West Indies. Two important players, Curtis Campher and Craig Young, will miss the games because of injuries. 

Curtis Campher, Ireland’s fast-bowling all-rounder, sustained a fractured finger during a net session on May 19. Meanwhile, fast bowler Craig Young suffered a hamstring injury when he played for the North West Warriors in a domestic match.

To fill the positions, Young will be replaced by Jordan Neill, while in place of Campher, the wicketkeeper-batter Stephen Doheny will play. 

Ireland captain Paul Stirling is hopeful despite the setbacks. He said, ‘Yeah, look it's unfortunate that injuries happen in sport and I think you've got to look at the positive side of this that there's going to be a few new faces around.�?/p>

Multan Sultans have signed Irish all-rounder Curtis Campher to replace the star spinner Gudakesh Motie in the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2025. The franchise confirmed their squad change through a post on their official X (formerly Twitter) account.

Motie had to leave the league midway due to personal matters in Guyana. His departure means the squad needed a quick cover after they lost Johnson Charles earlier in the league as well. 

Campher brings a valuable T20 background to Multan Sultans. He is best known for his batting and bowling skills in international cricket with Ireland. The 26-year-old is also known for scoring 924 runs and taking 31 wickets in T20Is. 

Currently, Multan Sultans are sitting dead last in the PSL table, losing three of their four matches, as of writing. Campher’s addition can be a way to boost the team’s all-round strength. His presence may also offer balance and depth to the squad.
