The Board of Control for Cricket in India's men's selection committee will convene on Saturday, June 8, 2026, to finalize India's squads for the upcoming white-ball tour of Ireland and England. This meeting, to be held at the BCCI headquarters, will be followed by a press conference addressed by chairman of selectors Ajit Agarkar and honorary secretary Devajit Saikia at 1:00 PM IST.
The announcement is anticipated to bring significant changes to India's T20 setup. Shreyas Iyer is reportedly set to be appointed as the new T20 captain, a role previously held by Suryakumar Yadav, who is facing potential exclusion from the squad due to form.
This tour begins with two T20 Internationals against Ireland in Belfast on June 26 and 28, 2026. Following this, the team will move to England for a series of five T20Is and three ODIs starting July 1, 2026.
Additionally, the selectors are reportedly considering a maiden senior national call-up for 15-year-old batting prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. Emerging players like pacer Prince Yadav and spinner Harsh Dubey might also get opportunities as the BCCI aims to build squad depth for a demanding international schedule. The Asian Games squad could also be announced soon due to organizer deadlines.
