Ireland has confirmed it has granted Nathan Hauritz, National Spin Bowling Coach, compassionate leave for personal family reasons.

The former Australian off-spinner Hauritz started with Cricket Ireland last year and has been working with players at all levels of the Irish system, travelling as part of the coaching staff to the most recent T20 World Cups.

Nathan informed Cricket Ireland of his situation, and travelled back to Australia earlier this month.

It remains to be seen if he will be available for either the World Cup Qualifiers in Zimbabwe or the T20 World Cup qualifiers in Scotland.
