Ireland and West Indies drew an ODI series last month

Ireland's first T20 international against West Indies has been abandoned because of consistent rain.

The three-match series was due to begin at Bready on Thursday with subsequent meetings scheduled for Saturday and Sunday.

The West Indies are returning to the area where they were bowled out for 25 in a famous Irish victory in 1969.

The series is the second this year between the two sides who split an ODI series in Dublin last month.
