The BCCI has announced the squad for India tour of Ireland. The highlight of the squad is Rahul Tripathi getting his maiden call-up. Earlier, when he wasn’t a part of the SA series, a lot of fans and cricket experts were disappointed. Moreover, since the Ireland tour clashes with practice matches against England, a new captain has been appointed to lead team India. The last time the two teams met in a T20I bi-lateral series was back in 2018. However India won comfortably last time, Ireland would try their best to not give away easy wins to the Indian side.
