India will face Ireland in a two-match T20I series as part of the India Tour of Ireland 2026. Notably, the first match of the series will be played at the Civil Service Cricket Club in Belfast on Friday, June 26.

Team India will be led by newly appointed T20I captain Shreyas Iyer, and this will be his first assignment in charge of the side. 

Under his leadership, India will look to dominate the hosts, especially with a strong batting lineup featuring Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Abhishek Sharma, and Sanju Samson.

Meanwhile, India's bowling attack also appears formidable, with the likes of Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana and Prasidh Krishna expected to lead the charge.

On the other hand, Ireland will be captained by Lorcan Tucker, as regular skipper Paul Stirling has been ruled out of the home series due to injury. In addition, Josh Little and Mark Adair will also miss the series. 

However, Matthew Hollard and Jai Moondra have received their maiden Ireland call-ups, while Reuben Wilson has earned his first-ever T20I call-up.
