Team India is going to play a three-match T20I series against Ireland starting on August 18, 2023. India has rested some senior players to prepare for the World Cup later this year, but the big news is that India’s prime fast bowler returns to the team and will be the skipper of the team.

The first match of the series will be played on August 18 at Malahide Cricket Club Ground, the series will end on August 23 and the matches are scheduled at the same stadium.
