Young opening batter Prithvi Shaw was once again overlooked as the Indian squad for the two T20 Internationals against Ireland was announced. Shaw, despite impressing in the Indian Premier League with his ability to provide quick starts with the bat, has played just a single T20I for India, which came last year in Sri Lanka, when he got out for a golden duck. While Shaw was always touted as a player with huge potential for India, the likes of Ishan Kishan and Ruturaj Gaikwad have gone ahead of him in the pecking order.

The Harmanpreet Kaur-led Indian women's cricket team arrived in Sri Lanka on Sunday for its limited-over tour of Sri Lanka, beginning on June 23. Without senior players like Mithali Raj, who has announced her retirement, and veteran pacer Jhulan Goswami, a young Indian team will play three ODIs and as many T20 Internationals at Pallekele and Dambulla respectively.
The Sri Lanka tour will be the first series for the India women's team in the post-Mithali Raj era, as the country's long-time captain recently announced her retirement from all forms of international cricket. "India Women's Team led by Harmanpreet Kaur arrives in Sri Lanka. India and Sri Lanka will play three T20Is in Dambulla on June 23, 25 and 27 followed by as many ODIs on July 1, 4 and 7," tweeted Sri Lanka Cricket.
