India is currently engaged in a gripping five-match Twenty20 International (T20I) series against South Africa at home, while the hosts are trailing the series 1-2 after three games. Meanwhile, following the conclusion of the series on Sunday, Team India will switch its focus to the United Kingdom (UK), where its first stop will be in Ireland for a couple of T20Is, to be played at The Village in Malahide, Dublin. The All-India Senior Selection Committee announced the Indian squad for the same on Wednesday evening, as all-rounder Hardik Pandya will be leading the Men in Blue.

It would be Pandya's maiden outing as the Indian skipper, having successfully done so in the 2022 Indian Premier League (IPL). He led the new team Gujarat Titans (GT) to title glory on its debut, which happened to be his IPL debut as the skipper. Meanwhile, veteran seamer Bhuvneshwar Kumar will be his deputy.
