My preferred pace attack in Ireland would be 

 

Bumrah

Prasidh

Avesh

Hardik

 

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

Hardik is rested after " Har ke aaya " in westindies

I guess if one does badly in Ireland it means that one is in trouble.

 

However doing well against Ireland - say Irish opening bowlers - means nothing wrt Starc and Cummins or Shaheen and Naseem.

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.

More like a practice run for Asian Games...  Most of these guys would play there. 

Jitesh,  Tilak,  Jaiswal,  bishnoi  Dube Ruturaj Avesh Mukesh Sundar are all in that squad too.

This team is not playing WC. This is preparation to finalize a young T20 side.

Yes, actually it is. Do you and that guy realise that this team is not going to Play ODI WC maybe except Bumrah and they are easing Bumrah back playing international cricket using this series. Team that will play Asia cup will play ODI wc.  We have separate t20 and ODI teams now with some players playing in both and that's the way to go.

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

There is no surprise in an associate team posing good challenge to a B grade team. 

[Frustrated]

Ruturaj is a proven domestic bully.   At intl level, his batting skills look like nightwatchman irrespective of the quality of opponent.  Hope he does not get any game.  I hv high expectation from Rinku Singh.  Lets see what he does.

Mukesh is no Mr India man...  He definitely should be married by now or at least engaged to land himself a decent Indian girl by now.

Like who lol? Most Irish women I see are unfit, don't look after themselves and have no style or substance. And their accent sucks.

Afternoon start - 3 PM Dublin Time

Rainfall chance is 90-95 % whole day till evening 6 PM. Rain reduces after 8PM. Drizzle all day. Terrible forecast.
