(Reuters) - New Zealand Cricket have named former Dutch all-rounder Michael Rippon in their 15-man Twenty20 international squad for the tour of Europe in July and August.
Sanju Samson has got yet another opportunity to consolidate his place in the Indian cricket team. He is part of the Hardik Pandya-led India squad that will play two T20Is against Ireland later this month. With several other wicketkeeper-batters like Rishabh Pant, Ishan Kishan, and the veteran Dinesh Karthik playing well with far more consistency than the 27-year-old, it is going to be a daunting task for Samson to make it to the T20 World Cup squad. Samson has time and again impressed with his abilities only to falter with his consistency.
Ireland tour for the three-match T20I series in England, TOI has learnt. Led by all-rounder Hardik Pandya, Team India will play two T20Is on June 26 and June 28 in Dublin.
The five-match T20I series between India and South Africa ended in a 2-2 stalemate after the series decider in Bengaluru was abandoned due to rain. Only 3.3 overs were possible in the game, in which India posted 28/2 with Ishan Kishan and Ruturaj Gaikwad back in the hut. A day after the series ended, former South Africa skipper Graeme Smith highlighted the biggest positives for Team India and he was full of praise for Dinesh Karthik and Hardik Pandya.

Indian cricket team head coach Rahul Dravid doesn't want to put a timeline but by the end of the England T20Is, he wants to have a fair idea about the 18 to 20-odd players he would be looking at for the T20 World Cup in Australia. India and England will clash in six white-ball games (July 7-17) after the one-off Test. "As you come closer and closer to the event, you want to firm up your final squad or if not, obviously you want to have some contingencies in the kind of world we live in today. Obviously you want to take only 15 to the WC but (need to identify) top 18 to 20 players," he replied to a query on where he stands on his core team.
India's 17-member squad for the two T20Is against Ireland later this month had several youngsters getting selected, some of whom did really well in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. The team will be led by Hardik Pandya and will be another opportunity for the Indian team management to zero in on the players who are likely to make it to the T20 World Cup, going to be held in Australia in October-November. However, one name that was missing from the squad was Rahul Tewatia.
