IND vs IRE T20 World Cup 2024 Playing 11: India will commence their T20 World Cup 2024 journey against Ireland on Wednesday, June 5, at the Nassau County Stadium in New York.

Team India will be hoping to start off on a positive note, while Ireland would be hoping to pull off an upset against the giants.

India have named a strong squad for the T20 World Cup. Captain Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal are likely to open the batting with Virat Kohli coming in at no. 3. Rishabh Pant is likely to be the first choice wicketkeeper for the Indian team. Ravindra Jadeja and Hardik Pandya are likely to be the all-rounders, while Jasprit Bumrah is expected to lead the pace attack with Arshdeep Singh and Mohammed Siraj as the other pacers in the lineup. The decision in the spin bowling department is going to be an interesting one but Kuldeep Yadav looks like the one higher in the pecking order.

For Ireland, Harry Tector and Andrew Balbirnie will be crucial. Paul Stirling's role at the top of the order will be another huge factor for the Irish, whereas players such as Curtis Campher and Lorcan Tucker are expected to be in the lineup as well. Joshua Little and Mark Adair are set to pair in their fast bowling attack while Benjamin White can be the solitary frontline spinner along with George Dockrell, who is also handy with the bat.
