In addition, the star pacers Jasprit Bumrah and Prasidh Krishna have reportedly returned to the line-up and will be featuring in the upcoming three match T20I series against Ireland.

As for Shreyas, we will know more in the next two days. We are waiting for a couple of injury updates. KL and Shreyas are 80% fit but aren’t yet match-fit. We expect an assessment report by Saturday. Once we have more clarity, the squad will be announced,” The Indian Cricket Board official said.
