India suffered massive injury blow in the form of strike bowler Jasprit Bumrah who has injured the thumb of his non-bowling hand and will miss T20Is against England. Bumrah was replaced by Umesh Yadav in the second T20I against Ireland and the RCB bowler is expected to start against England.

KL Rahul, who smashed a quickfire 70 off 36 balls, stated that it was a good batting wicket and had to make the most of the opportunity to open the innings on Friday. Rahul also added that the tour of England will be a real test for the current Indian team who have done well over the last few years.

Rohit Sharma believes that if the Indian team manages to win the ongoing T20 International series against Ireland 2-0, it would be a huge boost in confidence for the team before the all-important England tour. Sharma returned to form in the first T20I against Ireland, scoring 97 runs 61 balls.
