Isle of Man cricket side Crosby have been forced to cancel their tour of Gibraltar due to the disruption caused to air travel by volcanic ash.

The Manx side were due to travel to Gibraltar on Wednesday but all flights were grounded.

Crosby Manager David Picken told BBC Isle of Man: "We have been planning the tour for months but what can we do."

A squad of 19 players were due to tour with three games scheduled over the coming week.

Picken added: "It is a very bizarre situation, a couple have made it to Gibraltar, some are stranded in Gatwick and the majority didn't even make it off the Island."
