Team India’s Busy Schedule: West Indies Tour and Ireland T20Is
Team India is currently on a tour of West Indies, playing all formats of the game. After the ongoing two-match Test series, they will face off in three ODIs and five T20Is. The white-ball games will be held in Barbados, Trinidad, Guyana, and Florida from July 27 to August 13.
Upcoming T20I Series in Ireland
Soon after the Caribbean tour, the Men in Blue will head to Ireland for a T20I series. India will play three T20Is against Ireland at Malahide on August 18, August 20, and August 23.
Possible Skipper Change for Ireland T20Is
According to reports, India’s T20I skipper Hardik Pandya might be given a break for the Ireland tour. There is a possibility that Suryakumar Yadav, the current vice-captain, could be asked to lead the side.
Senior Players Sidelined from T20I Squad
It is worth noting that senior players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have been left out of the T20I squad since India’s T20 World Cup semi-final defeat last year.
New Faces in the T20I Squad
While Hardik Pandya will captain the Indian T20I team in West Indies, young batsmen Yashasvi Jaiswal and Tilak Varma have earned their maiden call-ups for the series.
Possible Comeback of Jasprit Bumrah
There are speculations that ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah will make a comeback to the Indian team during the Ireland T20Is. Bumrah has been recovering from a back injury and is currently in the final stage of his rehab, bowling with full intensity in the nets.
The squad for the Ireland T20Is is yet to be announced, but fans are hopeful for Bumrah’s return.
