Team India to Face Ireland in June 2026 for Two White-Ball Fixtures; Confirmation Expected Soon

The Indian men's cricket team will have a new tour added to its stacked calendar for the 2026 season. The Men in Blue would be in action against Ireland for a two-match series, and a formal announcement is yet to be made by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and Cricket Ireland (CI) by the end of the day.

The Indian cricket team has enjoyed immense success in the white-ball format. The Suryakumar Yadav-led Men in Blue are coming off a historic victory in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 Final against New Zealand at home.

Team India successfully defended the T20 World Cup title they had won back in 2024, establishing dominance in limited-overs cricket.

According to Cricbuzz, Team India will lock horns against Ireland in a two-match white-ball series, preferably in the T20I format.

The dates are yet to be made official by both cricket boards, but the short series is expected to be "sandwiched" between the Afghanistan home series and the England away tour.
