Changes in Team India continue, more than half of the players will not tour Ireland

Team India is now going through a transitional stage. In every series, the team is altered. It’s important to note that this is all taking place just two months prior to the 2023 ODI World Cup.

The Indian team must go to Ireland after the five-match T20 series against the West Indies. The BCCI released the team for this on Monday night. More than half of the players in the squad chosen to play the West Indies won’t travel to Ireland. They will therefore be taking a break.

The 15 players who will compete in the T20 International series against Ireland on Monday have been revealed by the BCCI. Prior to this, starting on August 3, Team India will play five T20 matches against the West Indies. However, there have been significant changes made to the team since it last faced the West Indies.

The West Indies tour’s vice-captain Suryakumar Yadav and skipper, Hardik Pandya, have been rested for the upcoming series. Jasprit Bumrah, who is rejoining the Indian team after almost a year, has taken over as team captain. Shubman Gill, Ishan Kishan, Akshar Patel, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Kuldeep Yadav have not been chosen for the Ireland series in addition to Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav. Eight of these players are in the West Indies T20I squad.

The India team for the Ireland series features players such as Jasprit Bumrah, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Rinku Singh, Jitesh Sharma, Shivam Dubey, Washington Sundar, Shahbaz Ahmed, and Krishna. However, they will not be playing against the West Indies.

Big update regarding Shubman Gill; Will not play T20 series against West Indies

Team India will attempt to bring in a new era with the West Indies tour after suffering a devastating loss to Australia in the World Test Championship final.

On the West Indies tour, the Indian team will compete in 2 Tests, 3 ODIs, and 5 T20 games. Hardik Pandya can be given the captaincy once more in the T20 series. Star batters Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal were anticipated to open the innings in this series. But there has been a new update on Gill.

Shubman Gill will play in the Test and ODI forms during the West Indies tour. Gill’s duty can be decreased, and he can take a break during the T20 series, in light of the Asia Cup and the World Cup. Ruturaj Gaikwad might have the chance to start the innings in Gill’s absence.

Ravi Shastri’s name missing from commentary panel for series, will have to wait for his return

Former Team India head coach Ravi Shastri will have to wait until IPL 2022 to make his commentary debut. For the West Indies home series against the ODIs and T20Is next month, Shastri was not named to the commentary panel.

BCCI will field seven commentators in February to cover three One Day Internationals and as many Twenty20 Internationals against West Indies. Shastri is not present. In addition to Gavaskar, Agarkar, Bhogle, Murali, Dasgupta, and Sivaramakrishnan, the panel includes Ganesh Gupta and Ajit Agarkar. The list includes former West Indies fast bowler Ian Bishop as well. Shastri will not comment on the series with Sri Lanka.

Ravi Shastri has decided to refrain from commentating until at least IPL 2022, says a source close to him. During the past two months, he has been working on different projects. Then he will consider commentary. During his almost 7-year tenure as Team India’s coach, Shastri coached the team twice. It’s a big name in commentary. After the World T20, he ended his role as coach. There has been speculation since then that he would immediately grab the microphone and begin commentating. However, they didn’t.

Shastri is associated with the Legends League Cricket

Shastri is currently serving as the commissioner of Legends League Cricket in Muscat. It’s been a while since he started commenting. Moreover, he made comments about the final of the T20 World Cup in South Africa in 2007. Additionally, he handled the microphone at the 2011 ODI World Cup final. But after becoming the full-time coach of Team India in 2017, he had to give up commentary. However, his time as coach is now over. Since this is the case, fans are hoping for an early return to the commentary box.

The India-West Indies series begins on February 6

India and West Indies will play three ODIs and as many T20Is starting on 6 February. T20 matches will be played in Kolkata, while one-day internationals will be played in Ahmedabad.
