The Indian squad will be captained by the IPL 2022-winning skipper Hardik Pandya, who will be leading the Men in Blue for the first time in any format. Experienced pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar was named the vice-captain of the team. India will be traveling to Ireland after four years.
Currently, Rishabh Pant is leading the Indian team in the ongoing five-T20I series against South Africa, but he will be in England when the Indian cricket team plays the away series against the Ireland cricket team. Keeping him company in England will be Shreyas Iyer who will also miss the Ireland T20I series.
Mumbai Indians star Suryakumar Yadav has recovered from his injury and has returned to the team for the upcoming T20I series against the Ireland cricket team which also includes RR captain Sanju Samson.
