Preview
In the opening T20I of the India tour of Ireland 2026, Ireland (IRE) is set to face India (IND). India is set to play their first T20I series since winning the T20 World Cup. The squad has undergone several changes, with Shreyas Iyer taking over the captaincy from Suryakumar Yadav. A number of young players have also earned call-ups following impressive performances in the IPL. The pace attack includes Harshit Rana, Prince Yadav, and Arshdeep Singh, while Ravi Bishnoi and Varun Chakravarthy will lead the spin department.
On the other hand, Ireland will be led by Lorcan Tucker. Their T20 World Cup campaign was disappointing, as they managed just one win from four matches and finished fourth in their group. Eager to move on from that performance, Ireland will be looking to start the series on a positive note and secure a victory against India on home soil
