The third T20I between India and Ireland has been abandoned due to rain and wet ground conditions. With this India bag the three-match series 2-0. India had won the first T20I by two runs as per the DLS method, and secured a 33-run victory both played at The Village, Dublin. Team India will now be seen in action in the Asia Cup, which gets underway next week. India start their campaign against Pakistan on September 2, following which they take on Nepal two days later. Bumrah: Very happy to be back and play some cricket. Frustrating when you’re waiting for a game to happen. Did not see this coming, weather was fine in the morning. An honour to lead the side, everyone was very eager and enthusiastic. Whenever you get an opportunity to lead your side, anyone would love to do that. As a cricketer, you always want responsibilty. All good, no complaints. Not one year (out of the team), 10-11 months (he jokingly corrects Alan Wilkins). Makes my job easier when players are so confident, and they tell me what to do. Stirling: Just periods of good cricket from us in patches. Lot of positives, but it’s about finishing those games off. Hopefully we’ll take these learnings. Brilliant to have India over and play in front of good crowds here. Would’ve been happier if we could’ve got some fresh faces out there tonight. It’s a buildup now for the next sort of 10 months.
