India vs Ireland T20 Squad 2022: Hardik Pandya has been named captain of India’s 17-member squad for the two-match T20I series against Ireland that is scheduled to begin in Dublin on June 26. This will be the first time that Hardik Pandya will be leading Team India. He had recently led Gujarat Titans to win IPL 2022 Title.
India vs Ireland T20I squad will be missing out on many of the senior players who will be in England for their rescheduled Test series decider. The India vs Ireland T20I series will end just three days before the postponed decider Test match, which is scheduled to take place between July 1 and July 5.
Bhuvaneshwar Kumar has been named the vice-captain of the side for the two-match T20 series. Suryakumar Yadav and Sanju Samson have been included in the squad and Rahul Tripathi has received his maiden call-up to the Indian team due to the absence of Rishabh Pant and Shreyas who will travel directly to England for the Test series after the conclusion of ongoing India vs South Africa T20 series.
