The Indian cricket team is set to begin its schedule of Ireland, featuring two T20Is, with the opener taking place in Belfast on Friday (June 26).
India, the reigning champions in the shortest format, begin a new chapter under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer, who was named the team’s skipper after Suryakumar Yadav was axed from the team. The series holds additional importance as India’s 15-year-old prodigy, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, was named in the senior squad for the first time. Whether he gets to make his debut or not is a story for another day, but the excitement is truly building.
The Indian team management is expected to hand opportunities to a few rookies over the course of the series. Shreyas Iyer is bound to be a man under the spotlight, having last featured in a T20I for India in 2023. His selection and elevation as the team’s skipper marks a new chapter in his career.
