Ireland prepares for T20 series as India aims for strong debut
Summary

India arrives at Stormont for two T20 internationals against Ireland on June 26 and 28, set to begin at 13:30 BST. The series opportunity coincides with Ireland facing several injuries, with key players such as Josh Little and Paul Stirling unavailable. At the center of attention is 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who could break records as the youngest Indian T20 debutant. Irish bowler Matthew Humphreys underscores the importance of preparation to tackle Sooryavanshi's explosive playing style. The absence of Mark Adair due to injury is a significant setback for Ireland's competitive edge in the series.
