The upcoming weekend marks the commencement of a three-game T20 International (T20I) series between the Indian cricket team and Ireland. Notably, a significant number of experienced players from the Indian side have been given a break for this series.
Taking charge of the team in their absence is the seasoned fast bowler, Jasprit Bumrah, who will be leading a squad comprising mainly of less-experienced players. The responsibility of vice-captaincy has been bestowed upon the young opening batsman, Ruturaj Gaikwar.
In contrast, Ireland cricket team will be under the leadership of their captain, Paul Stirling. All of the matches for this series are scheduled to take place at the renowned Malahide Cricket Club, also known by the moniker, The Village, situated in Dublin.
Emerging talents such as Tilak Varma and Yashasvi Jaiswal will be eager to maintain their commendable performances, while Sanju Samson will look to establish a series of steady showings to solidify his position.
In a recent five-match T20I series against West Indies, the Indian team faced a setback with a 2-3 loss.
Meanwhile, all eyes will be fixed on Bumrah as he returns to international action after an absence of nearly 11 months. His performance will hold significant importance for India’s prospects in the forthcoming ICC ODI World Cup in India.
