The International Cricket Council has moved to quash rumours that this year's T20 Cricket World Cup will be postponed.
Ireland is among the 16 nations in the tournament which is due to take place in Australia through October and November.
Despite the uncertainty of the coronavirus pandemic the ICC says a number of contingency plans are being considered, which will be discussed at a board meeting tomorrow.
"Reports of a postponement of the ICC T20 World Cup 2020 are inaccurate and planning for the event continues whilst a number of contingency plans are being explored in light of the rapidly changing public health situation caused by the Covid-19 virus," the ICC said in statement this afternoon.
Earlier this month the Ireland captain Andrew Balbirnie had expressed his belief that the tournament could be postponed.
"I'd be worried the tournament wouldn't go ahead," the Irish skipper told BBC Radio Ulster.
"You have to look at it logistically - there would be 16 teams flying into the country. The way this pandemic has panned out, a lot can happen in a couple of days, so we really don't know yet. It's tricky, but we're battling on.
"It's going to be a unique situation. There might not have been any international cricket this summer at all, so there will be a lot of people going in under-cooked.
"When we get back training, we will have to be really specific as to what we want to do."
