Men in Blue wastes no time, begins training on Day 1
Team India didn’t waste much time after landing in Dublin as they begun their training on Day 1 itself. BCCI on Wednesday shared the pictures of Team India’s huddle before the start of training session.
“Our first team huddle in Dublin as we kickstart our preparations for the T20I series against Ireland”, the board posted on social media.
While few new faces will be in action in 3-match T20I series, all eyes will be on skipper Jasprit Bumrah who is set to make his comeback to the international cricket after injury.
Along with Bumrah, pacer Prasidh Krishna is also making a return from injury. Meanwhile, Ruturaj Gaikwad, who will lead India’s men’s cricket team in the Asian Games 2023, has been named as vice-captain.
