After this, Team India will tour England in the beginning of July, where a series of 5 T20 matches will be played. According to the news of ESPN Cricinfo, BCCI’s selection committee will announce Team India’s squad for both these T20 series on June 6. During this time, an announcement will be made to make Shreyas Iyer the T20 captain. According to the report, Iyer will be present there.

Shreyas Iyer played his last T20 International match in 2023

Shreyas Iyer played his last T20 International match in December 2023. However, apart from IPL, Iyer has captained brilliantly in domestic cricket and has also done wonders with the bat. This is the reason why the selectors of Team India have expressed confidence in Shreyas Iyer and decided to hand him the responsibility of T20 captaincy.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi will get a place in Team India for the first time

Keeping in mind the preparations for the Olympic Games to be held in the year 2028 and the T20 World Cup 2028, BCCI has decided to move in the same direction. Apart from this, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who impressed with his batting while playing for Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2026, can also get a place in Team India for the T20 series to be played on the tour of Ireland and England.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi will become the youngest player to play international cricket for India.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi will be a part of senior Team India for the first time. If Vaibhav gets a chance to debut, he will become the first Indian player to play international cricket at the youngest age. This record is currently registered in the name of Sachin Tendulkar. Sachin played his international match at the age of 16 years 205 days. Whereas Vaibhav will get a chance to play in 15 years.

Suryakumar Yadav lost captaincy due to bad form

Under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav, Team India won the T20 World Cup title in March 2026 this year, but Surya was constantly facing criticism for his poor form. Even in IPL 2026, Surya’s bat did not perform as expected. In such a situation, considering the future, BCCI has decided to remove Suryakumar Yadav from the captaincy. It is even being claimed in the report that Surya may also be dropped from the T20 team. Now it remains to be seen what the future of Suryakumar Yadav is going to be like.
