There are plenty of exciting storylines as India travel to face Ireland in a two-match T20I series, with both games being played in Belfast.
The biggest talking point is the inclusion of Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, India's 15-year-old batting sensation who has burst onto the scene and has earned his first senior call-up.
The question over whether Sooryavanshi should be put straight into an India team who are coming off victory in the 2026 Men's T20 World Cup is one for head coach Gautam Gambhir to ponder and one to keep an eye on.
If Sooryavanshi does make his debut, he would become the youngest Indian player to play international cricket, taking the record off the legendary Sachin Tendulkar.
Both sides will be led by new captains, with Ireland led by former vice-captain Lorcan Tucker and India spearheaded by Shreyas Iyer.
The two sides have faced each other eight times in T20Is, with India winning all of those previous encounters.
Read on for all the details of how to watch the two matches live on TNT Sports and HBO Max.
