Lorcan Tucker weighed in after the squad announcement
After the squad was announced, Ireland skipper Lorcan Tucker took centre stage and talked about the various aspects of the squad that will be taking on the Indian team. He talked about how big a privilege it is to be leading Irelandโs squad and opened up on how he is looking to lead by example as Ireland locks horns with the Indian team.ย
โItโs obviously a great privilege, and not one I thought would arrive when I started my career all those years ago. Thereโs 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,โ Lorcan Tucker was quoted as saying by Cricket Ireland.ย
โMy approach to the captaincy is to lead from within and by example. Iโd like to think I have good relationships with all the staff and players and can act with honesty and empathy,โ he added.
Ireland squad: Lorcan Tucker ยฉ, Ross Adair, Ben Calitz, Gareth Delany, George Dockrell, Stephen Doheny, Matthew Humphreys, Gavin Hoey, Matthew Hollard, Liam McCarthy, Jai Moondra, Harry Tector, Tim Tector, Reuben Wilson
