Team India are currently busy with a full-fledged tour of the West Indies. After the ongoing two-match Test series, they will be in action in a three-match ODI and a five-match T20I series. The last or fifth T20I will be played on 13 August 2023. After that, India are scheduled for a three-match T20I series in Ireland.

The series will take place from 18 to 23 August. But, now, reports have come out that players like Hardik Pandya and Shubman Gill are most likely to get rested for that tour. Seeing such reports, fans shared their views on social media. Some fans also raised questions about the need of giving Pandya rest.

Shubman Gill has scored just 16 runs in two innings in the ongoing Test series

Speaking of Shubman Gill, he has become an integral part of Team India across all three formats for a considerable time now. Since the start of 2023, he has been a part of the squad in every series in all three formats. After the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in India, he played the entire IPL for Gujarat Titans (GT). And, now, he is busy playing the ongoing Test series in the Caribbean. He is a  part of both the squad for the upcoming ODI and T20I series against the West Indies.

So, it seemed that the Indian Cricket Board might manage his workload by giving him a rest from the Ireland tour by keeping an eye on the upcoming ODI World Cup later this year. But, Hardik Pandya is currently getting ready for both the upcoming ODI and T20I series against the West Indies. In the T20I series, he will lead the team as well. After the IPL, he has not played any cricket so far. So, fans were left surprised by the reports of giving him rest again as he has not been affected that much by the workload like other regular layers in the team across all three formats.
