While Irish media manager Barry Chambers played it down saying “It’s nobody’s fault”, it has emerged that Cricket Ireland have sent £310 (Rs 23,000 approx) to cover the damage to the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA). “I think they have paid up the damages,” said KSCA secretary Javagal Srinath.
