India has not announced the squad for IND vs IRE T20I series so far. However, many players from the upcoming T20I series against South Africa are expected to be part of the Ireland series. There are few players who will have to perform against Ireland or their place on the T20I side can be affected. Here we talk about 3 Indian players who might be ruled out of the T20I setup if they fail in the Ireland series.

IND vs IRE: 3 Indian Players Who Might Be Ruled Out Of T20I Setup If They Fail In Ireland Series

3. Dinesh Karthik

Dinesh Karthik is the first player on this list. At the age of 37, Karthik managed to get an opportunity in the national team due to his impeccable performance in IPL 2022. Although Karthik is a part of the Indian side in the forthcoming series, he needs to show his consistency for the national team.

India has a few young options for the wicketkeepers like Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer, and KL Rahul. If Karthik does not deliver his role efficiently as a lower-order batsman in IND vs IRE series, selectors might overlook him in future T20I tournaments.

2. Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Bhuvneshwar Kumar is another player on this list. Bhuvneshwar Kumar is a regular member of the Indian team in the limited-overs format currently. However, there are many young pacers like Arshdeep Singh, Avesh Khan, Uman Malik, Prasidh Krishna, and T Natarajan among others who have impressed with their performances at different levels.

If Bhuvneshwar Kumar fails to perform in IND vs IRE T20I series, selectors might go for other pace bowlers as they need to prepare a strong squad for the forthcoming T20I World Cup 2022. Hence, selectors might give opportunities to some other pacers in future which can hamper Kumar’s T20I career.

Axar Patel is another player on this list. Axar Patel is a spin all-rounder. He is likely to be part of IND vs IRE series. Patel needs to perform against Ireland to prove that he is as effective in T20Is as he is in Tests. If the left-arm spinner fails to perform in the series, selectors might go for other spin all-rounders in future.

Selectors might also be convinced to keep the Indian all-rounder Patel for Tests and not T20Is. Hence, to cement his permanent place in the T20Is, Axar Patel will have to come up with a spectacular show against Ireland.
