The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has confirmed that the men's selection committee will convene on Saturday to finalize India's squads for the upcoming white-ball tour of Ireland and England.
Selection Meeting Details
According to a BCCI release, the selection meeting will be held at the board's headquarters. Chairman of selectors Ajit Agarkar and BCCI honorary secretary Devajit Saikia are scheduled to address the media afterward. The press conference will commence at 1:00 PM IST on the fourth floor of the BCCI headquarters.
Expected Changes in T20 Setup
The announcement is expected to draw significant attention, with several major changes likely in India's T20 setup. Among the biggest talking points is the anticipated appointment of Shreyas Iyer as India's new T20 captain. The Mumbai batter is tipped to replace Suryakumar Yadav, who is reportedly set to lose both the captaincy and his place in the squad following an extended lean patch.
Tour Schedule
India's tour of the United Kingdom begins with two T20 Internationals against Ireland in Belfast on June 26 and 28. The team will then travel to England for a white-ball series comprising five T20Is and three ODIs starting July 1.
Potential New Faces
There are reports suggesting that the selectors are also likely to reward 15-year-old batting prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi with his first senior national call-up after his rapid rise through the ranks. The Asian Games squad could also be announced well in advance due to entry deadlines set by organizers. Despite the event clashing with a home white-ball series against the West Indies, the BCCI is expected to field a strong team in Japan.
Several emerging players could also receive opportunities, including pacer Prince Yadav and left-arm spinner Harsh Dubey, as India continue to build depth ahead of a busy international calendar.
