For the lower order, Rinku Singh should be added to India’s playing XI for the T20I series against Ireland. The left-handed batsman showed superb form for Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2023.

The uncapped Indian player finished as the leading run-getter for the team with more than 450 runs in 14 games. The middle-order batter also shattered 4 half-centuries. His hard-hitting batting style will be valuable in T20Is against Ireland.

Washington Sundar

For all-rounder, Washington Sundar should get a spot in the Indian team during the Ireland series. Sundar could not come up with a good show in IPL 2023 for his team Sunrisers Hyderabad. However, the right-arm spinner is an experienced player in T20Is with 35 games to his name.

The left-handed batsman accounts for 29 wickets and 107 runs across 14 matches. India will need some experienced players in the playing XI and Sundar will be one of them.

Ravi Bishnoi

Mukesh Kumar played for India in the recent series against West Indies. The right-arm pacer should be inducted into the playing XI in the T20I series against Ireland too. Avesh Khan has returned to the field after a long gap. Prasidh Krishna has no experience in T20Is.

Hence, Mukesh Kumar will be a better option as a pacer as he represented India in recent times. The 30-year-old hunted 4 wickets in 3 ODIs and 3 wickets in 5 T20Is against the Caribbean side.
