Cricket West Indies president Ricky Skerritt has expressed deep disappointment over the West Indies men's team's stunning defeat to Ireland that resulted in their exit from the ICC T20 World Cup in Australia.

In the match played at Hobart, leg-spinner Gareth Delany picked up career-best figures of 3/16 while veteran opener Paul Stirling slammed a sensational 66 not out to take Ireland to the Super 12 stage with a nine-wicket drubbing of West Indies in a decisive Group B match of the first round at Bellerive Oval on Friday.
