Lorcan Tucker Named Ireland T20I Captain As New-look Squad Announced For India Series
Ireland T20I: Wicketkeeper-batter Lorcan Tucker has been appointed as Ireland's new T20I captain and will lead a new-look 14-member squad hit by injuries to senior players for this week's two-match series against India, to be played in Stormont on June 26 and 28.
Tucker has served as vice-captain since 2025 and previously filled in twice as skipper. But he now takes over the reins full-time from Paul Stirling, which makes Ireland a side with different captains across all three formats.
"It's obviously a great privilege, and not one I thought would arrive when I started my career all those years ago. There's a feeling of responsibility to the playing group and organisation to represent them well, and also to all the other captains who came before me. I look back with admiration at all the captains that have led Ireland in the past and am proud to now join them," Tucker said after a training session.
