Ross Adair made his T20 debut for Ireland against Zimbabwe in January 2023
Ireland opener Ross Adair has been forced to withdraw from the upcoming T20 series with Bangladesh through injury.
The 31-year-old will miss the three scheduled encounters with the Bangladeshis in that format of the game on 27 November, 29 November and 2 December because of a bone stress in his knee.
Before those matches, the sides will meet in two Tests, the first starting on Tuesday in Sylhet.
Jordan Neill, who is part of the 15-man Ireland Test squad, will now stay on in Bangladesh to replace Adair in the T20 group.
South African-born Neill, 20, made his international debut in May but suffered an injury in the field and then missed a significant part of the domestic season.
Adair has had to overcome a number of injury concerns in 2025 after his memorable 58-ball century against South Africa late last year.
In his three T20I innings this year he scored 48 against West Indies, and 26 and 33 against England.
It is hoped that his withdrawal will allows him opportunity to prepare at home for the T20 World Cup which will take place in February 2026.
