The Irish last participated in a T20I bilateral series against Bangladesh in Bangladesh in March this year. The Bangla Tigers emerged victorious in the opening two encounters to seal the series with one game to go. Ireland then managed to claim a consolation victory in the final T20I to avoid a whitewash.
As mentioned above, the Asian giants recently suffered a series loss in the Caribbean under the leadership of Hardik Pandya who will be missing the Irish tour. Notably, India will be led by their speedster Jasprit Bumrah who is back after a long injury lay-off. Experienced campaigner and explosive opener Paul Stirling will don the captaincy hat for the hosts.
