What Prasidh Krishna Brings to the Team
What Prasidh Krishna Offers Height of the seamer gives him an edge over others with an extra amount of bounce on the flatter of tracks and a blistering pace of delivery at about 145 kph which could cause the opponent batters to take the delivery early at close to that pace, hence making him a 20/20 bowler.

Opportunity for Emerging Fast Bowlers
Opportunities for New Fast Bowlers For the past 10-plus years, the Indian team has focused on nurturing and building depth in their pace-bowling reserves, and this shows in their current squad selection.
Ireland and England Series Become More Important:
The abundance of young bowlers in this squad will all be looking forward to grab chances when they come to show their skills consistently. T20I skipper Shreyas Iyer and vice-captain Tilak Varma will lead the team and their mix of experience and young talent with 18-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi provides a good balance to the squad and, with bowlers in particular, these games in these conditions will help them develop and gain match experience for international future games with the Indian team.
The H2 section discusses how this tour will help the Indian team in the long term. India vs. Ireland T20Is – June 26, 28, at Belfast. India vs. England T20Is – July 1-11, at Manchester, Nottingham and Southampton.
Given the lack of top-order bowling choices, this series in Ireland and England is a crucial opportunity for the selectors to examine the adaptability and strength of their squad when competing against strong opponents.
Squad Depth and Flexibility Building successful teams relies heavily on the strength of the entire squad.
The current philosophy of the Indian team revolves around providing opportunities to players as and when available, and by doing so it looks as though they are preparing a much deeper player pool than has ever been present before and, ultimately by rotating bowlers they will manage to keep them injury-free while they nurture an array of talents who could turn into established international players at a much quicker rate.
