India is scheduled to take on Ireland in a 2-match T20I series as preparation for the upcoming series against England and most importantly for the ICC T20 World Cup. Despite facing comparably weak opponents in the form of Ireland, skipper Hardik Pandya is reluctant to go easy on the opposition. Pandya is prepared to field a strong team against the Irish side.

“It’s about making sure that we keep the same intensity. It comes down to mental strength. Playing two games quickly is not easy. Coach has also talked about retaining the culture that Rahul Dravid and Rohit Sharma have set,” he said.
