Team India is set to have a new captain for their upcoming assignment in the United Kingdom (UK) as star pacer Jasprit Bumrah will be leading the second-string Indian side against hosts Ireland. The upcoming three-match series against Ireland will mark the return of senior pacer Bumrah to international cricket. Bumrah remained on the sidelines for almost 11 months due to a recurring back injury.

Indian opener Ruturaj Gaikwad has been appointed the deputy of a fully-fit Bumrah for the Ireland series. Bumrah hasn't played competitive cricket since India's home T20I series against Australia last September. Bumrah had also missed the T20 World Cup and Asia Cup last year. Besides pace ace Bumrah, speedster Prasidh Krishna will also be making his comeback after a long injury layoff. A lumbar stress fracture had kept Prasidh out of action since India toured Zimbabwe in August last year.

India's second-string side also features the likes of Jitesh Sharma, Rinku Singh and Shivam Dube. Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, Mukesh Kumar, Arshdeep Singh, Tilak Varma, Avesh Khan and Sanju Samson have also retained their spots in the Indian T20I squad after the West Indies series. Under the leadership of Bumrah, the second-string Indian side will hope to bounce back after losing to the West Indies 3-2 in the Caribbean.

Interestingly, neither head coach Rahul Dravid nor National Cricket Academy (NCA) chief VVS Laxman will accompany the Indian team for the Ireland series. Coaches Sitanshu Kotak and Sairaj Bahutule will be part of the Indian think for India's final white-ball series before the Asia Cup 2023.
