Team India will tour Ireland for a two-match T20 International series starting on 26th June. This would be the first visit for the Indian team to the Irish state since 2018.
The men in blue faced the Irish team for the first time in the 2009 T20 World Cup at Trent Bridge in Nottingham, England. India won that game comfortably by eight wickets. Zaheer Khan was the star performer for team India in that match as he claimed 4 wickets for just 19 runs from his spell. These are also the best figures of his T20I career.
Nine years after their first clash, team India toured Ireland for the 1st time to play a 2-match T20I series. India won that series by 2-0 and this is going to be the second instance of the two teams featuring in a bilateral T20I series against each other. Ireland would be determined to register their first T20I win against a young Indian side. Meanwhile, the big names of the Indian team (Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer, Jasprit Bumrah, Rishabh Pant, etc) will not play this series but still, the Indian team has announced a strong squad that shows the depth that India has in their cricket.
