3 Indian Players Who Will Be Considered For ICC World Cup 2023 Based On Ireland T20I Series

3. Jasprit Bumrah

Jasprit Bumrah is the first player on this list. Bumrah, a premium pacer for Team India, has not played a single game since September 2022. The right-arm pacer sustained a back injury last year. The 29-year-old player underwent back surgery in New Zealand earlier this year.

He was recovering at National Cricket Academy (NCA). He was declared fit a few weeks ago and selectors pushed him for the T20I series against Ireland to review his match fitness. Hence, Bumrah makes a stunning comeback in IND vs IRE T20I series and his performance will decide his fate in ICC World Cup 2023 squad.

2. Washington Sundar

Washington Sundar is another player who will be considered for ICC World Cup 2023 based on his performance in Ireland series. The bowling all-rounder has a decent experience in the national team- playing 55 games across three formats.

Since ICC World Cup 2023 takes place in India, spin all-rounders will be crucial members of any team. India has Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel in that category. However, Washington Sundar is another good option as a spin all-rounder for India.

In 2023, the 23-year-old picked 2 wickets and hit 21 runs (2 innings) across 4 ODIs. Sundar performed poorly in IPL 2023 for Sunrisers Hyderabad. Hence, the T20I series against Ireland is a marvelous opportunity for the right-arm spinner to impress selectors.

If he comes up with an amazing performance during the series, Sundar can be considered for one of the all-rounders in ICC World Cup 2023 later.

1. Sanju Samson

Sanju Samson is another name who can be considered for ICC World Cup 2023 with his performance in India vs Ireland series. Luck betrayed Sanju Samson in his international career this year.

The right-handed batsman got injured during a T20I game at the start of this year. Due to the event, he missed many games in the first three months of 2023. Later, he impressed in IPL 2023 and made a comeback in IND vs WI series.

In the ODI series, he stormed 1 fifty in 2 matches. After the T20I series against West Indies, Samson is part of India vs Ireland series. In the series, Samson does not have his competitor Ishan Kishan. Hence, the 28-year-old might be picked in all three games.

If he performs well in the series, he will be a strong contender for wicketkeeper for ICC World Cup 2023. The Rajasthan Royals skipper gave a marvelous performance in ODIs last year, smacking runs at an average of 71.0 across 10 matches.
