A new-look India team, led by Jasprit Bumrah, has left for Ireland for the three-match T20I series to be played in Dublin from August 18 to 23. As far as Team India is concerned, the series is exciting for many reasons. Worried as they have a mix of new faces as well as those returning after a long injury lay-off. BCCI uploaded pictures of players getting ready to leave for Ireland on their social media handles.
Players like Jasprit Bumrah, Prasidh Krishna, and Washington Sundar have missed many matches due to injury and this is their chance to show how good their form is on their return. For others like Rinku Singh, Jitesh Sharma, and Shivam Dube, it is a reward for their consistent performances in the IPL(Indian Premier League) and a potential ticket to India’s plans for next year’s T20 World Cup.
