India will be looking to maintain their dominance in the ODI format after a strong performance against the West Indies when they face Ireland on January 10 in the first ODI of the two teams’ first-ever bilateral series.
The rest of skipper Harmanpreet Kaur means Smriti Mandhana will lead India and the onus of scoring will fall on other batsmen, including Pratika Rawal, Harleen Deol and Jemimah Rodrigues. Renuka Singh, the leading wicket-taker in the West Indies series, was also rested.
