Suryakumar Yadav plans post-IPL travel

Suryakumar Yadav’s reported plan to head to Ireland and England after the Indian Premier League lines up with India’s published men’s T20 schedule for the 2026 summer. A social-media post circulating on Friday said the India T20 captain would travel to both countries once the IPL ends. BCCI’s fixtures pages show India are due to play a two-match T20I series in Ireland from June 26 to June 29, followed by a white-ball tour of England from July 1 to July 19. ### Where does the Ireland-and-England itinerary come from? A post on X linked to Times of India reporter Gaurav Gupta said Suryakumar Yadav would travel to Ireland and England after the IPL. The post did not include exact travel dates, but it tied the plan to India’s next T20 assignments in the 2026 summer window. (bcci.tv) BCCI’s official schedule provides the clearest public framework around that claim. The board said on March 21 that India’s senior men will tour Ireland for two T20 internationals in June 2026, marking the team’s return to Belfast for the first time since 2007. ### What has BCCI already confirmed for Ireland? (timesofindia.indiatimes.com) The March 21 BCCI advisory said the Ireland series will consist of two T20Is. BCCI’s series page lists the tour as running from June 26 to June 29, 2026. Belfast is the named host city in BCCI’s announcement. The board said India had toured Ireland three times in the previous eight years — in 2018, 2022 and 2023 — and described the 2026 trip as a return to Belfast after a gap of nearly two decades. (bcci.tv) ### What is scheduled in England right after that? (bcci.tv) BCCI’s men’s international series page lists an “India Tour of England 2026” immediately after Ireland. The listing shows five T20Is and three ODIs from July 1 to July 19. The England and Wales Cricket Board has also published its 2026 international summer schedule, saying England men will host India among their visiting sides that season. (bcci.tv) ECB’s announcement did not in the search excerpt spell out the full India match list, but it confirmed India are part of England’s 2026 home summer. (bcci.tv) ### Is Suryakumar certain to lead those tours? Suryakumar Yadav remains publicly identified by the circulating post as India’s T20 captain, but selection for the Ireland and England legs has not yet been announced by BCCI. No official squad release was visible in the material reviewed. (ecb.co.uk) A Times of India report published earlier in May said selectors were considering changes to India’s T20I captaincy after IPL 2026, with the next cycle beginning in Ireland and then England. That report described the issue as under consideration, not settled. (timesofindia.indiatimes.com) ### What should readers watch next? June 26 is the first firm date on BCCI’s published calendar for India’s men in this sequence, with the Ireland T20I series scheduled to begin then. July 1 is the listed start of the England white-ball tour. Squad announcements, travel details and captaincy confirmation would typically come from BCCI closer to those dates.
