New Delhi, June 28 -- India have introduced two fresh faces for the second T20I against Ireland. Suryansh Shedge and Prince Yadav will make their international debuts, becoming the 120th and 121st players to represent the country in the format. Notably, only Pakistan has handed out more T20I caps to debutants, with 125 players.

The last India debut came in January 2025 when Harshit Rana earned his first cap. This 513-day wait is the longest gap between two India T20I debutants. The previous record stood at 451 days between Bhuvneshwar Kumar's cap in December 2012 and Mohammed Shami's introduction in March 2014.
