5 Team India Players who might make their T20I debut on Ireland tour

With a bunch of candidates putting their hand up, it is going to be a task for the Indian selectors to pick a T20I squad for the Ireland series that is set to be played on June 26 and June 28,  An ample of new faces emerged out of the recently concluded IPL 2022, and many players’ performances were really promising throughout the tournament.

After yet another successful edition of the cash-rich event, some of the top performers got a chance to make a mark in the upcoming South Africa home series. It is surely a task for the selectors to pick a limited squad. The squad that is set to face Proteas still misses some of the players who were commendable throughout their stint but failed to make their place in the team.

Now that the Indian senior team will be busy with their international commitments, a new team will be formed for the Ireland series which will be headed by VVS Laxman as head coach Rahul Dravid will be occupied with the senior members. Thus, there are high chances of the new faces receiving a maiden call-up and making their debut. There is also a chance that a few players picked in South Africa series might get their chance only in Ireland.

Let us have a look at five players who can make a debut in the T20Is

1. Arshdeep Singh

Arshdeep Singh has been picked in the India squad for the upcoming T20I series against South Africa. But with the likes of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Avesh Khan, Harshal Patel and Umran Malik also being part of the fast bowling contingent, he might have to wait for his chance at the highest level.

Also, with Hardik Pandya expected to bowl, the hosts are likely to prefer only two specialist fast bowlers. As of now, looking at the squad, Bhuvneshwar and Harshal are the favourites to make it to the first XI. India might also prefer to unleash the pace of Umran Malik who set the stage on fire during IPL 2022.

Hence, Arshdeep, who did extremely well, especially in the death over during IPL while playing for Punjab Kings might have to wait a little more to don the blue jersey. However, there is every possibility that he will make his debut in Ireland where India will miss a few more of their preferred players.
