Gearing up for the upcoming two-match T20 Internationals series against India, Ireland's wicketkeeper-batter Lorcan Tucker is looking forward to making a good impression against one of the world's top teams. When India last visited Ireland in June last year for a similar two-match series, the Men in Blue won 2-0 and this time too, they are looking for a similar result, especially with bowling spearhead Jasprit Bumrah and fellow-pacer Prasidh Krishna returning from injuries and hoping to put up their claims for selection in the World Cup team.

Ireland, on their part, are not hoping to be cannon fodder again and are confident of putting up a tough fight against India, making the most of the home conditions.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천 Their confidence is based on the experience their players have gained a lot of experience in the last one year or so, said Tucker, who had a quiet series last time against India
슬롯사이트We슬롯사이트ve had a lot of cricket this year. We슬롯사이트ve been very well-prepped, especially in T20 cricket. We슬롯사이트ve come off a decent run there in Scotland where we managed to qualify for next year슬롯사이트s World Cup, so I think everyone슬롯사이트s feeling excited. We had two great games against India last summer and I think everyone슬롯사이트s really looking forward to the big build-up, and the exciting crowd. They슬롯사이트re going to come with that energy and it, going to be great," Tucker informed in an interview with Ireland Cricket's official website.
Another reason for Tucker's confidence in his team and own performance was his recent success in a domestic game in Inter-Provincial Cup on Monday in which he struck 133 off 93 balls.
슬롯사이트Yeah, today was a good day -슬롯사이트� it was good to be out there for a long period and figure out some quirks that haven슬롯사이트t been quite right throughout the summer. It슬롯사이트s brilliant to get that kind of energy, and that excitement, going into that big series," Tucker added.

슬롯사이트The team is quite experienced with these bigger games. We슬롯사이트ve played in World Cups; we슬롯사이트ve played against India before. We know what it슬롯사이트s like when these big-pressure games come around. They are the showpiece of the summer for fans in Ireland. We just want to make an impression, stay nice and relaxed and play with confidence. That슬롯사이트s our main motto going forward,슬롯사이트� he added.
슬롯사이트Malahide generates a special feeling 슬롯사이트�- especially when a big team comes to town. We know India may have a good deal of support, but to have such a big crowd - it슬롯사이트s brilliant for cricket in Ireland," he added. Jasprit Bumrah Is Back!
