Suryansh Shedge and Prince Yadav (X-BCCI)
India captain Shreyas Iyer opted to field after winning the toss in the second T20I against Ireland on Sunday, making two changes to the playing XI as the visitors looked to level the two-match series.India handed T20I debuts to batting all-rounder Suryansh Shidge and fast bowler Prince Yadav, while teenage batting prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was once again left waiting for his international debut.
Confirming the changes to the draw, Iyer expressed confidence in both newcomers and praised their abilities.“We have two changes. Suryansh (Shedge) and Prince are coming in and making their debut. Shedge is an exciting cricketer, both in domestic cricket and in the Indian Premier League,” Iyer said, adding that Prince was an “intelligent” cricketer who “adapts to things”.India entered the contest under pressure after suffering a shock 34-run defeat in the series opener on Friday. The loss gave Ireland their first ever victory over the World T20 champions in any format and gave the hosts a 1-0 lead in the two-match series.With their inclusion, Suryansh Shidge and Prince Yadav become India’s 120th and 121st players to represent the country in T20 Internationals. Only Pakistan has used more players in this format, with 125 T20I caps.
