After finishing their tour of the West Indies, the Indian staff will head to Ireland for this brief T20I collection. Currently, Team India is engaged in a five-match T20I collection in opposition to the West Indies.
The T20I matches between India and Ireland will happen on August 18, 20, and 23 on the Malahide Cricket Club Ground.
It might be an thrilling contest as Ireland tackle one of many prime T20 sides on this planet, offering an amazing alternative for his or her gamers to showcase their expertise on the worldwide stage.
“While the majority of the squad reflects the playing group that successfully qualified for the 2024 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup last week, the selectors have recalled Leinster Lightning all-rounder Fionn Hand and have included Gareth Delany who is returning from injury after breaking his wrist in Zimbabwe in June,” Cricket Ireland stated in a press release on its web site.
“The upcoming series is the first T20 action for the national side since securing the T20 World Cup qualification and is being treated accordingly as part of the strategic planning for that tournament scheduled for June 2024,” it added.
Ireland nationwide selector Andrew White stated, “We currently have around 15 T20 Internationals scheduled between now and the World Cup, so it is important that we use each of these to continue to build on areas that the coaching team has identified.
“Giving opportunities to players also filters down the series themselves, so I would expect that all of the 15 players named in the India series squad will feature at some point,” White added.
Ireland squad: Paul Stirling (captain), Andrew Balbirnie, Mark Adair, Ross Adair, Curtis Campher, Gareth Delany, George Dockrell, Fionn Hand, Josh Little, Barry McCarthy, Harry Tector, Lorcan Tucker, Theo van Woerkom, Ben White, Craig Young.
