Ireland captain Paul Stirling has been ruled out of the final two one-day internationals against Namibia after fracturing his finger while fielding during the third ODI on Tuesday.
The injury leaves Ireland trailing 2-1 in the five-match series, which serves as preparation for next year's World Cup qualifiers. Stirling, 36, had scored half-centuries in the first two matches in Windhoek, making 56 and 77, but was unable to bat in the third game.
Uncapped ODI batsman Tim Tector, the younger brother of Ireland middle-order batter Harry Tector, has been called up as a replacement. Tector has eight T20 international appearances, averaging 17 in the shorter format.
Ireland won the series opener on 22 October but have since lost by 31 and 63 runs. The series resumes on Friday with the concluding fixture on Sunday.
