IRE vs IND: Ireland Announce Squad For T20Is Against India; Bring In Fionn Hand, Gareth Delany
Ireland have brought in all-rounder Fionn Hand and leg-spinner Gareth Delany in their 15-member squad for three-match T20I series against India, starting from August 18 in Malahide. Hand had missed out on selection in Ireland's recent qualification for the 2024 Men's T20 World Cup while Delany is returning from injury after breaking his wrist during the Men’s ODI World Cup Qualifiers in Zimbabwe in June. "Giving opportunities to players also filters down the series themselves, so I would expect that all of the 15 players named in the India series squad will feature at some point.
The Indian side arriving in Ireland is an exciting one for the supporters, but as we showed last year, we have the talent and confidence to match them on the field of play and we have high hopes for another fiercely contested series.
So, while the immediate task at hand for Heinrich and the leadership team is on the India challenge, we are definitely framing this series as an important component of a longer-term plan to be ready to take on the world’s best at the T20 World Cup next year," said Andrew White, Ireland Men's national selector, in a media release.
