Ireland have announced a 15-player men’s squad that is set to take on India at home in a three-match T20I series scheduled from August 18.
The series against India, the No.1 ranked team in the MRF Tyres ICC T20I Men’s Team Rankings, will be the first T20I action for Ireland since securing a spot in the 2024 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.
The squad mainly comprises players who were part of the successful World Cup qualifying campaign last month. However, there are notable inclusions like the recall of Leinster Lightning all-rounder Fionn Hand and the return of Gareth Delany, who was recovering from a wrist injury sustained in Zimbabwe in June.
Ireland T20I squad: Paul Stirling (c), Andrew Balbirnie, Mark Adair, Ross Adair, Curtis Campher, Gareth Delany, George Dockrell, Fionn Hand, Josh Little, Barry McCarthy, Harry Tector, Lorcan Tucker, Theo van Woerkom, Ben White, Craig Young.
