It said one umpire tested positive for COVID-19, but the other three scheduled to officiate were deemed close contacts, so none of the crew would be available for the match. The second one-day match is scheduled for Tuesday and the third next Thursday, both also in Fort Lauderdale. The teams split a two-match Twenty20 series, with the US upsetting Ireland in the first match but Ireland winning the second.
