They don't seem to win a lot...  They struggle to beat sides like Ned & Scotland these days & get thrashed by pretty much everyone. 

 

Last tour they nearly beat us, although also made Hooda look way better than he was

[Sooda]

 

Its a good squad

 

My only suggestions: Rahul Tewatia in for Shabaz or Dube maybe. As a finisher who can bowl leg spin Tewatia offers something different.

 

Mukesh and Avesh are not limited overs bowlers, as is often the case there is format confusion. Mavi & Yash Thakur instead

Indeed India should instead tour these top Associate sides instead of has been sides like Ireland. 

Nostalgia of Ireland doing well in 2011 WC still grips the minds of BCCI I think. 

Dutch especially could be a seriously tough side if they get same resources like the Irish board. 

No they won't. Talent pool id very limited unless tgr6 grab SA imports

Why is Hardik being rested though? 

I also have the same question, he has just come after a long break, also his batting form is not good so could have used this Ireland series to get some batting practice.

Bumrah Captainship - Seniority triumphs over Skills.

Yes in Asia cup. If india picked Venktesh Iyer why not Parag who is more mature now

SKY should have been in the team for Ireland tour. He would have got more games under his belt prior to Asia cup and world cup

Ireland is not glamorous enough for our T20 superstars- If Bumrah wasnt coming back after injury he would have skipped it too

[Sooda]

With Hardik and SKY it makes sense for them to focus on ODIs cricket from now on to be honest.  Didn't even been to play in WI T20IS

at least prasidh should be there

[tweaker]

Mukesh Kumar and Arshdeep will play most of the games.

Kotak should try Prasidh as Mukesh has almost played all the matches in Windies tour

[tweaker]

Playing 11 should be

 

Jaiswal

Ruturaj

Tilak

Sanju

Rinku

Dube

Sundar

Bishnoi

Bumrah

Prasidh

Arshdeep

No 6 bowling options...  Go with Dube &  4 bowlers let Jaiswal & Tilak bowl vs Ire. 

Get Jitesh in there.

What exactly is the benefit of playing Ireland in Ireland in T20s wrt the ODI WC in India with countries such as Eng/Aus/Pak/NZ/SA  ? I think it is a futile exercise with no benefit whatsover.

 

Team - Ireland (did not qualify for WC) vs actual Eng/Aus/Pak/NZ/SA which will be opposition

Location - Ireland vs actual location India.

Format - T20s vs actual ODIs in WC.

 

This is all beyond my ability to comprehend.

 

They would be better served with playing and practicing in India.

Brainless/Senseless Bcci and the TM.  In pretty much every aspect, there are more questions than answers.

My preferred pace attack in Ireland would be 

 

Bumrah

Prasidh

Avesh

Dube

 

And I hope Mukesh Kumar stays back in Ireland, marries an Irish girl and plays for them in the future.
