Hardik, Shikhar in line to become Indian?s skipper for T20I series against SA: All-rounder Hardik Pandya and opener batter Shikhar Dhawan are in selector's target to hand team India's captaincy role for the home T20I series against South Africa and away series against Ireland as the senior players will be given much-needed break from competitive cricket.



The home series against South Africa for five T20Is will begin on June 9 while India's tour of Ireland for 2 T20Is will kickstart on June 26. The squad for both tours is expected to be rolled out on May 22nd.



Notably, the likes of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Jasprit Bumrah and Rishabh Pant will be given rest for the two subsequent series as a part of their workload management. The aforementioned players are constantly playing cricket for the last couple of months and BCCI wants all of them fresh for the tour of England, starting July 1.



"All the senior India players will get at least three and half weeks of complete rest. Rohit, Virat, KL, Rishabh and Jasprit will all directly go to England for the 'fifth Test' following the white-ball series. We need all our key players to remain fresh for the England series," a senior BCCI source privy to the development told PTI on the condition of anonymity.



It has been learnt that Shikhar Dhawan, who has led team India in absence of Rohit, Virat and Rahul in the past, along with Hardik Pandya, who has been impressive in his maiden stint as the captain of the IPL franchise - Gujarat Titans, are in line to lead the men in blue for the two upcoming shortest format tours.



"The selectors have a couple of choices. Shikhar Dhawan, as he has already captained India in absence of Virat, Rohit and Rahul during last year's Sri Lanka series. But Hardik Pandya's impressive captaincy for Gujarat Titans hasn't gone unnoticed. So it will be a close call," said the source when asked about the choice of leadership.

<h2>Umran Malik is too raw to be handed India debut:</h2>



It is further understood that pace sensation Umran Malik is too raw to be given a maiden call for the national team. Though his 150 plus bolts have generated a fair bit of excitement amongst everyone, however, a couple of India A tours would help him discover himself and get better with his strengths.



Lucknow Super Giant?s left-arm pacer Moshin Khan has reportedly excited the selectors with his brilliant pace, bounce and swing and is in the mix to get a maiden call-up in the T20I squad.



"Mohsin has impressed almost everyone with his pace, bounce and swing in this edition. He does have a chance. Having said that, not ruling out Umran or Arshdeep either, but Mohsin might just be slightly ahead," he added.



It is important to note that Suryakumar Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja and Deepak Chahar won?t be named in the squad due to their respective injury concerns. All the three cricketers are ruled out of the Tata IPL 2022 and are undergoing their rehab program.?

Hardik, Shikhar in line to become Indian?s skipper for T20I series against SA

hardik-shikhar-in-line-to-become-indians-skipper-for-t20i-series-against-sa

NCA chief VVS Laxman likely to coach India during Ireland tour for the T20I series: In all its likelihood, National Cricket Academy (NCA) chief VVS Laxman will coach team India for the two T20Is against Ireland next month as the shortest format tour coincides with India's test preparations against England.



While the senior Indian contingent will be gearing up to face England in the fifth rescheduled test match at Edgbaston, a second-string Indian side will take on Ireland in a two matches T20I series, starting June 26.



The one-off test match between England and India is slated to begin on July 1, but before that the touring party will take part in a four-day practice test against Leicester from June 24-27.



Understandably, Indian head coach Rahul Dravid will be with the senior men, guiding them in the one-off Test against England.&nbsp;



"In all likelihood, Laxman will be with the T20 squad in Ireland as Dravid will be busy in England with the Test team,? a BCCI source told PTI.



Notably, team India dealt with a similar situation earlier during Ravi Shastri?s stint as India?s head coach and the responsibility of the NCA was on Rahul Dravid?s shoulders.

Last year, the men in blue were slated to tour Sri Lanka while the senior men were in the UK for the five matches test series. Dravid, the then NCA chief, travelled with the second string Indian squad to the island nation for a limited-overs series while Ravi Shastri kept providing his services to the senior players in England.



The reports have suggested that two different teams would be picked for the tour of Ireland and England. India will play two T20Is against Ireland, while 1 test followed by three T20Is and as many ODIs will be played against England.



The full-strength Indian squad is expected to travel to England, while fresh faces will receive their maiden call-up for the tour of Ireland.



The Indian selectors are foreseen to roll out India?s T20I squad on May 22, the final day of IPL 2022?s league stage contest. Senior players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul, and Mohammad Shami are probable to get a breather.

NCA chief VVS Laxman likely to coach India during Ireland tour for the T20I series

nca-chief-vvs-laxman-likely-to-coach-india-during-ireland-tour-for-the-t20i-series

VVS Laxman confirmed to coach India during Ireland tour in June: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Wednesday confirmed that current National Cricket Academy (NCA) chief VVS Laxman will be accompanying the Indian contingent on the tour of Ireland, starting June 26.



Notably, team India will field two squads in July during the tour of Ireland which collides with the England tour. While the T20I squad will lock horns against Ireland, the red ball squad will be playing a practice test match against Leicestershire ahead of the one-off rescheduled test match against England.



Head coach Rahul Dravid will be with the red-ball contingent in England gearing up for the all-important test match against England.&nbsp;



The development was confirmed by the BCCI secretary Jay Shah on Wednesday. "He will travel with the Indian team to Dublin," BCCI secretary Jay Shah was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz.?

It?s important to note that a similar agreement was made, a year ago, when the senior Indian side was on England?s tour for five matches test series while a second-string Indian squad was slated to travel to the island nation, Sri Lanka, for a limited-over series.



While then head coach Ravi Shastri accompanied the red-ball squad in England, then NCA chief Rahul Dravid travelled with the second string Indian side to Sri Lanka for the white ball matches.



A few days ago, the BCCI named India's T20I squad for the shortest format series against South Africa. A few probable names were missing from the list besides the likes of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Shami, who all have been given a breather to freshen up for the challenge against England.&nbsp;



Shikhar Dhawan, Rahul Tripathi and T Natarajan were expected to make their cut in the squad against SA, however, they missed the list. These three names will be present for the tour of Ireland and Shikhar Dhawan may be seen donning the skipper?s hat as well.

VVS Laxman confirmed to coach India during Ireland tour in June

vvs-laxman-confirmed-to-coach-india-during-ireland-tour-in-june

Hardik Pandya to lead India in Ireland?s tour, Expected Indian squad for Ireland tour: All-rounder Hardik Pandya is likely to don the captain?s hat during India's upcoming tour of Ireland for the white ball matches. Rishabh Pant, who is leading the men in blues against South Africa in the absence of regular skipper Rohit Sharma, will be on the tour of England and hence, Hardik becomes the prominent figure to lead the side.?



Notably, Rishabh Pant will fly to the United Kingdom after the completion of India?s home T20I series against South Africa to play out the one-off test match against England in Edgbaston. He won?t travel with the second-string Indian squad to Ireland for the two matches T20I series.



In Pant?s absence, Hardik Pandya, who is Rishabh?s deputy in the ongoing series against the Proteas, is expected to lead the men in blues.



"While there is Dinesh Karthik, who is the senior-most player in the squad along with Bhuvneshwar Kumar, it was Hardik, who was Pant's designated deputy and hence favourite to lead,? the BCCI official said.



As per the sources, the selectors are not expected to make a lot of changes in the Indian squad touring Ireland and hence the chances of selection for Moshin Khan and Rahul Tripathi are dim.

Team India is scheduled to play two T20I matches against Ireland, starting June 26. Both the fixtures are scheduled to be staged in Dublin on June 26 and 28 respectively.



While the second-string Indian team will play against Ireland, the Indian test squad is scheduled to have a four-day practice match against Leicester from June 24-27. Keeping in mind the fixture clash, the BCCI has asked NCA head VVS Laxman to accompany the Indian team in Ireland's tour while regular head coach Rahul Dravid will be involved in the test match preparations with the red-ball squad.



<h2>Expected Indian squad for Ireland tour:</h2>



Hardik Pandya (c), Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ishan Kishan (wk), Deepak Hooda, Shreyas Iyer, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Venkatesh Iyer, Y Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel, R Bishnoi, Bhuvneshwar, Harshal Patel, Avesh Khan, Arshdeep Singh, Umran Malik, Mohsin Khan/Rahul Tripathi.

India?s Squad for Ireland announced, Schedule, Hardik named captain: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced a 17-men strong Indian squad for the upcoming tour of Ireland, which begins on June 26. The Indian side is fixed to tour Ireland for two matches T20I series after the conclusion of the ongoing home five matches T20I series against the Proteas.



On expected lines, all-rounder Hardik Pandya, who impressed everyone with his captaincy in the IPL, has been handed leadership of the national side in the absence of regular players such as Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant and Jasprit Bumrah.



While Pandya has been given the leadership role, pace spearhead Bhuvneshwar Kumar is named as his deputy for the short tour.



Rahul Tripathi has finally received his maiden call-up for team India. Tripathi was constantly knocking on the selector?s doors with his consistent performance in the domestic circuit and in the IPL. In the recently held IPL season, he scored 413 runs in 14 matches at an average of 37.54, striking at 158.23.



"It is a very big opportunity, a dream come true [moment] and [I] appreciate [it]," Tripathi told PTI. "I am very happy that the selectors and everybody believed in me and whatever hard-work I have put in, I have got the rewards. And hopefully, if I get an opportunity to play, I will try and give my best.

Meanwhile, two other middle-order batters have been recalled for the Ireland tour. The likes of Suryakumar Yadav and Sanju Samson are also named in the squad. The former had suffered an injury owing to which he had to miss the ending part of the Tata IPL 2022 for Mumbai Indians.



The BCCI has slotted senior glovesman Dinesh Karthik as the first-choice wicketkeeper for the tour in Rishabh Pant?s absence, though, Ishan Kishan and Sanju Samson are two other options available for the men in blue.

ireland-vs-india-1st-t20i-dream11-prediction-fantasy-tips-playingxi-preview-match-details

IND vs IRE: Jasprit Bumrah to make comeback in Ireland series: Reports: In a major boost to team India, ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah is set for his competitive comeback in August during the IND vs IRE T20I series. Bumrah, who has been away from the field for a very long time, could possibly be seen in India's blue colour during the Ireland tour.



Team India is scheduled to tour Ireland for a three-match T20I series in mid-August (18, 20 and 23) after the conclusion of India's comprehensive tour of the West Indies and the USA.



Notably, the BCCI is yet to reveal India's T20I squad for the West Indies series, although, it has already announced the Test and ODI squads of the same tour. 



The reasons for the delay in the announcement of the T20I squad could be linked to uncertainty in Jasprit Bumrah's fitness. It could be a possibility that the BCCI would be waiting to get the final reply from the NCA on the availability of the ace Indian pacer.



However, if the reports are to be believed, Jasprit Bumrah is unlikely to feature in the five-match T20I series against West Indies but he could make his comeback in the subsequent Ireland series.



In a larger picture, the BCCI would want Bumrah to provide his services during the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 in October-November and for that, his workload will be maintained accordingly through the course of the event. Starting with the T20I games, Bumrah will be elevated to the ODIs for the longer spells.



Bumrah, meanwhile, suffered a back injury in 2022 due to which he had to miss the T20 World Cup, IPL 2023 and the recently held ICC WTC Final against Australia. He underwent back surgery in New Zealand earlier this year and since then he is undergoing rehabilitation.



With two months left in the Ireland series, it would be ideal for Bumrah, who has made a 70 per cent recovery, to press the restart button of his cricketing career with the IND vs IRE three-match T20I series.



Meanwhile, the timeline for the comeback of KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer is still unknown. Rahul, who underwent thigh surgery in May 2022, is at the NCA undergoing his rehab programme. He is unlikely to be fit for the Asia Cup 2023 which will be held in the 50-over format.

IND vs IRE: Jasprit Bumrah to make comeback in Ireland series: Reports

ind-vs-ire-jasprit-bumrah-to-make-comeback-in-ireland-series-reports

IND vs IRE: India T20I Squad for tour of Ireland 2023: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will be providing much-needed rest to a couple of Indian Star Players during the upcoming India tour of Ireland 2023. As per the reports, team India's T20I skipper Hardik Pandya along with other players could get a breather for the Ireland T20I series in the wake of a packed calendar ahead.



The India tour of Ireland 2023, comprises a three-game IND vs IRE T20I series, to be played at the Malahide Cricket Club Ground, Starting August 18. The second game of the IND vs IRE T20I leg is scheduled to be held on August 20, meanwhile, the last tour game is on August 23.



In the wake of the marquee events lined ahead, the BCCI is likely to rest a few Indian players from the IND vs IRE series. T20I skipper Hardik Pandya's workload would be crucial as he is an indispensable part of India's white-ball squad.



Along with Hardik Pandya, the Indian cricket board could also rest opener Shubman Gill, who has now become a three-format player for India. 



Sources close to the BCCI said the call on Hardik Pandya's participation in the IND vs IRE T20I series will be taken after consulting him following the India vs West Indies white ball series. 



"Nothing is finalised yet and it will also depend on how Hardik is feeling after the one-dayers and T20s in the West Indies. There is travelling involved and only a short turnaround of three days before one flies from Florida to Dublin," said a close source.



Notably, the Indian players will get just three days time after the completion of the India tour of West Indies 2023 to reach Dublin for the IND vs IRE T20I series. India's last tour game in West Indies is on August 13 and the team's opening game in the tour of Ireland is on August 18.



"With World Cup being of primary importance, one has to factor in his workload. Let's not forget he will be Rohit's deputy in the World Cup," a BCCI source told PTI on conditions of anonymity.



Team India's T20I Squad for Ireland will also miss the services of stalwarts like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. As it seems, the BCCI has made up its mind to do away with these star players following their failures in producing fruitful results in the recent past.



Down below is IND vs IRE, India's T20I Squad for tour of Ireland 2023 - Predicted:



India Squad: Ruturaj Gaikwad, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav, Rinku Singh, Axar Patel, Sanju Samson (Wk) Jitesh Sharma (Wk) Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Umran Malik, Mukesh Kumar ?

ind-vs-ire-bcci-to-rest-these-big-players-for-the-ireland-t20is-indias-t20i-squad-for-tour-of-ireland-2023

IND vs IRE: Groundbreaking and good news for Indian Cricket fans; Jaspret Bumrah is back to international cricket! BCCI have announced India Squad for Ireland Tour where Jaspret Bumrah will make his return to cricket as the captain to lead India's T20I side.



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><h2>Jump TO:</h2><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#ind-vs-ire-t-20-schedule">IND vs IRE T20 Schedule</a></li><li class=""><a href="#ind-vs-ire-t-20-i-squad">IND vs IRE T20I Squad</a></li></ul></nav></div>



Bumrah has led an Indian team before, most recently in the lone Test game played in England last summer. Bumrah has been out since September 2022 due to a back injury, when he last played for the national team. The 29-year-old's physical condition will be essential as India prepares for the ODI World Cup, which will get underway in October.



The right-arm pacer suffered a similar problem during the India tour of England in July 2022, which cost him two months of playing time. Bumrah missed the T20 World Cup in Australia due to back problems, and since then, he hasn't participated in a competitive cricket match, including the World Test Championship Final last month and the IPL 2023.

IND vs IRE: BCCI Announced India Squad for Ireland Tour! Jaspret Bumrah Returns as Captain To Lead India T20I Side; Check Out Full Squad

Prithvi Shaw did not find any takers as the Mumbai batter went unsold in the IPL 2025 auction. Prithvi, who had a base price of Rs 75 lakh in the auction, was released by Delhi Capitals but he did not attract any bids from the ten franchises.
Delhi Capitals co-owner Parth Jindal has said that Prithvi Shaw is misunderstood in many ways but needed a 'jolt' in the form of the IPL 2025 Auction snub. Shaw has been part of the Delhi franchise since returning as the U-19 World Cup winning captain in 2018 and was bought for 1.2 Crores. Ahead of the 2022 auction, the Mumbai batter was retained by DC for Rs. 7.5 Crore but the past few seasons hasn't been great for the 25-year-old.
Speaking to Sports Today, Jindal said that Shaw is a great kid but needed a jolt to get up from his slumber. The DC co-owner feels that Shaw needs to work hard, get back the love of the game and get disciplined. Jindal ended by saying he hopes the Mumbai batter can return back to his best form
Delhi has backed Prithvi Shaw a lot. DC had hoped that he is a powerplay player and would hit 6 boundaries in one over. And he did that too. He hit Shivam Mavi for 6 fours in an over. He had a lot of potential and DC backed him to the hilt. We always thought that if Shaw manages to score, we will win. And we gave him a lot of chances," Kaif told on Jio Cinema.

Prithvi got a lot of chances and teams have now finally moved on, and it is a matter of embarrassment that he did not get a bid for Rs 75 lakh. Maybe now, he finally goes back to basics. Someone like Sarfaraz Khan got into the national team by scoring lots and lots of runs," he concluded.
In the 79 matches he has played, Shaw has scored 1892 runs at an average of 23.95 and a strike-rate of 147.47. He also scored 14 fifties during this time.

Prithvi shaw is just 25 and has lot of cricket left inside him ,the thing he need that to focus on his fitness and batting weakness. 
If the things goes well, not the next year but shaw will probably get chance to play in IPL this year too,if any team needs replacement for player ,he might be a good to get that place.

The MI Emirates produced a clinical display with the bat and the ball, handing the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders a 28-run defeat at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in the Match 14 of International League T20 (ILT20) 2025 on Tuesday, January 21.
MI Emirates got off to a strong start when they were asked to bat first, with openers Muhammad Waseem (38) and Kusal Perera making a strong stand at the top. The Sri Lankan Perera was the first to leave for 23 soon before the powerplay ended, following a 42-run partnership between the two players. Tom Banton entered, and he and Waseem made sure the MI Emirates maintained the run rate.
Banton was out for nine around the halfway point of the innings, while Waseem was out for 38 shortly after. Kieron Pollard replaced skipper Nicholas Pooran, but the seasoned right-hander struggled to get going and was eventually sent out for five by Ali Khan. With just over 6 overs remaining, the score was at 102/4.
Following Dan Mousley's dismissal for six, Romario Shepherd joined his skipper for the innings' last stretch. Jason Holder made a solid 49, but Pooran, who was hitting it cleanly, was almost at his half-century before he fell.
<img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_870x_6790c540e2f01.jpg" alt="">
Shepherd was given more attention in the last few overs as a result. In order to end with an undefeated 38 from 13 deliveries, the powerful right-hander then moved through the gears and hammered three maximums and four boundaries. After slowing down for a few overs in the middle, the MI Emirates eventually reached 186/6.

In second inning with openers Kyle Mayers and Andries Gous attacking the MI Emirates bowlers, the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders got off to a fast start. Before Dan Mousley ran him out with a brilliant bit of fielding, Mayers, who hit three sixes, scored 22 off 14 deliveries.
 
The MI Emirates seized control after that, finishing a 39-run partnership in the fourth over in second inning.
Following Joe Clarke's dismissal by Akeal Hosein for three, Romario Shepherd took out Michael-Kyle Pepper for five and Alishan Sharafu for four. The Abu Dhabi Knight Riders were 56/4 at the conclusion of a thrilling Powerplay.
The Abu Dhabi Knight Riders were further put under pressure after Waqar Salamkheil dismissed Laurie Evans for seven and Zahoor Khan caught Gous in the deep for thirty-four. Hopes of a recovery were raised when Sunil Narine and Andre Russell were called to the middle and embarked on a half-century stand.
But Narine was caught at cover for 13 in the 18th over, and David Willey was dismissed by Fazalhaq Farooqi in the 19th. The MI Emirates won easily, and Russell, who was still undefeated at 37 from 23 deliveries, was unable to lead his team across the finish line.

players like Romario Shepherd and Nicholas Pooran, the MI Emirates were able to close the gap on the top team to just two points.
Alzarri Joseph and Shepherd each took two wickets to thwart the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders' chase, while four of the MI Emirates' bowlers were in excellent form that evening.
In the whole match Romario Shepherd was the centre of attraction for the crowd with his bowling and batting, although the show was lasser but effective for MI Emirates to build pressure on the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders.

IND vs ENG: Former Indian cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin has announced his playing XI for the first T20I against England. The match between the two teams is all set to take place on Wednesday (22nd January) at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
India and England will be locking horns with each other in the five-match T20I series. Both teams have a mixed combination of seniors and youngsters in the team, and with the way they have played of late, it's fair to say that it will be an exciting series to watch. 
Coming to the first T20I, Ravichandran Ashwin backed Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma to open the innings for the team. The duo has been doing a decent job together as an opener and would be hoping to carry on the same form in the upcoming first match. 
Sanju Samson was at his exceptional best in the T20Is last year as he slammed three tons. While on the other hand, Abhishek Sharma hasn't been able to maintain consistency. Hence the series will be extremely important for him with the bat. 
At No.3, Ravichandran Ashwin picked Tilak Varma. The left-hander oozed his class with the bat in the last series against South Africa. He batted at No.3 and slammed two back-to-back centuries. Skipper Suryakumar Yadav, as per Ashwin, will bat at No.4.
Hardik Pandya, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Axar Patel are the three all-rounders picked by Ravichandran Ashwin in his Indian XI for the first IND vs ENG T20I. They are expected to play a major role with the bat and ball. 
Rinku Singh also has been picked by Ravichandran Ashwin in his Indian XI for the first IND vs ENG team. He will be taking the role of finisher while there was no place for Ravi Bishnoi, who hard has put a foot wrong in his T20I career. Varun Chakravarthy will be there as per Ashwin. 
Mohammed Shami and Arshdeep Singh are the two fast bowlers picked by Ravichandran Ashwin for the first IND vs ENG XI. Shami will be making his comeback to the team after a year, while Arshdeep will be keen to make an impact.

Former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali talked about the delay in the squad of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 for the Pakistan team. He said that it might look like they are scared of announcing the team, but it seems that they don't know what to do. 
The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is around the corner and all the teams have named their squad for the tournament except the hosts Pakistan. The Men in Green are yet to announce the team even though the deadline of 12th January has already been surpassed by a long margin. 
India, Australia, England, South Africa, New Zealand, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan have all revealed their squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This has made many speculate about why Pakistan isn't announcing their squad for the tournament, which is less than one month away. 
There have been several reports that Pakistan will be announcing their squad for the tournament soon. They are awaiting the fitness of a few players, and hence, they will soon be naming the team. Some reports also have revealed the players who will be playing, but an official announcement is yet to come. 
<h2>Pakistan kya darr gaya jo abhi tak team announce nahi ki? Nahi dara nahi hai. Samajh nahi aa rahi hai - Basit Ali </h2>
Amid all this, former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali commented on the same, saying that no one knows what is happening. He speculated that they might be waiting for the fitness report on Saim Ayub. Speaking in a video posted on his YouTube channel, he explained: 
"Pakistan kya darr gaya jo abhi tak team announce nahi ki? Nahi dara nahi hai. Samajh nahi aa rahi hai -- karein to kya karein? (Is Pakistan scared to announce their squad? No, it isn't, just unsure what to do and what not). The biggest issue is whether Saim Ayub can return fit or not. It's still not clear." 
It remains to be seen when will Pakistan announce the squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The tournament is all set to take place from 19th February, with the final all set to be played on 9th March.
