WHITE MISSES INTERCONTINENTAL CLASH

7 July 2008

Ireland have been hit by the withdrawal of Andrew White ahead of their InterContinental Cup clash with The Netherlands, which starts in Rotterdam on Wednesday.

White misses the game due to personal reasons, and his place in the squad of 13 is taken by Waringstown all-rounder James Hall, who played for Ireland during the Friends Provident Trophy, but missed out on the Aberdeen tri series defeats with a foot injury.

White was a pivotal figure the last time the sides played in the longer format of the game in Holland, as he scored an undefeated 152 as Ireland triumphed by an innings and 47 runs in 2004.

That innings played a huge role in seeing him being offered a two year deal with Northamptonshire, which didn't work out for the player.

Ireland are of course the defending champions having beaten Canada in Leicester in 2007.
