India Tour Of Ireland 2022

The associate nations need the top cricketing nations to support them in many ways. While the one direct way is the improvement of the cricket standards, the other is, of course, the commercial angle that comes into the picture when a top team like India visits the nation. Around a decade ago, Ireland was actually in good form. However, in recent years, they are failing to do well when given a tough task. Therefore, the India series could help them in that regard.
India could field a squad keeping the T20 World Cup in mind
The T20 World Cup will start in October this year in Australia. After the failure in the previous edition, India will be keen to do well. Before the last event, India had scheduled a tour of Sri Lanka to give an opportunity to the T20 WC aspirants. A similar occurrence could happen for the tour of Ireland.
While the England T20I series could feature the first-choice T20I players, the Ireland tour may not involve the cricketers who will take part in the Tests. Hence, some of the newer players could get a chance on that tour. It will be interesting to see who will lead that squad considering all the leadership candidates might be preparing for the one-off test match.
