Tour Details

The UK tour will include two T20 Internationals versus Ireland on June 26 and 28 in Belfast, followed by a tour to England for five T20Is and three ODIs beginning on July 1. The squad is being announced early to meet the deadlines set by the event organizers for the Asian Games, which will be held in Aichi-Nagoya in September and October, as per the reports.

As per the recent reports, despite the event colliding with a two way white ball home series against the West Indies at the same time, the BCCI will field its strongest possible team.
