vice-captain.

India’s T20I squad: Hardik Pandya (Captain), Bhuvneshwar Kumar (vice-captain), Ishan Kishan, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Sanju Samson, Suryakumar Yadav, Venkatesh Iyer, Deepak Hooda, Rahul Tripathi, Dinesh Karthik (wicket-keeper), Yuzvendra Chahal, Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, Harshal Patel, Avesh Khan, Arshdeep Singh, Umran Malik
India will travel to Ireland to play two Twenty20 Internationals after the current five-match T20I series against South Africa concludes. Both matches will be held in Dublin (on June 26 and 28).
This will be yet another series without seniors on board and another fruitful opportunity for the youngsters and the players who got a chance to make a comeback, considering that BCCI is still searching for a confident squad for the ICC World Cup 2022.
