Left-arm paceman Josh Little has been withdrawn from Ireland's squad for the forthcoming three-match T20I series against West Indies at Bready.

Graham Hume has been called up as his replacement for the triple-header, which starts on Thursday, and continues on Saturday and Sunday.

"Josh had a niggle yesterday at training and pulled up. So unfortunately, he's missing out," explained Ireland captain Paul Stirling on Wednesday.

"He's going back to England now to prepare over there, to try and get himself right. Graham Hume comes in for him.

"So unfortunately, that's one more change that seems to be the order of the day recently. Again, with all these things, as with the ODIs, it brings opportunities for players who maybe didn't expect to be around."

Ireland are also without Craig Young, Curtis Campher and Gareth Delany for the upcoming games, which follow on from a drawn ODI series between the sides in May.

The West Indies come into the matches on the back of a 3-0 T20I series defeat by England.
