Team India are due to play two T20Is in Malahide on June 26 and 28.
According to a PTI report, Rahul Dravid, Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant were to take an early morning flight on Monday (June 20) for London whereas BCCI decided to give three-day respite to the T20 specialists.
"All the players selected for the Ireland T20s are going home for a three-day break. Although there is no bio-bubble they didn't have families with them for the series and some are playing non-stop since IPL.
"It's only fair that they spend some time at home," a senior BCCI source told PTI.
The report further suggests that the members of the Ireland-bound squad will assemble in Mumbai on June 23 along with NCA head VVS Laxman and his team of support staff.
"Laxman and the players will be in Mumbai by 23rd and they will leave the next day for Dublin. Since they are already coming from a series, you don't need time to get into the groove. Also it's a two-match series, so you won't be needing a lot of time to acclimatise," the source explained.
After playing the two games in Malahide on June 26 and 28, the T20I squad will depart for UK to play T20 practice matches, which will coincide with the rescheduled fifth Test between India and England at Edgbaston from July 1-5.
As per the report, not all the players in the current T20I set-up will be retained for the England tour and veterans like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah will return to the side.
"By the time the England white-ball series starts, you will see all the stars playing till the T20 World Cup. There will be no break from thereon save smaller series like Zimbabwe.
"Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, Ravindra Jadeja will all be back in the mix. Only person missing out for the time being is KL Rahul. So a few of the current top-order players (playing versus South Africa), fringe pacers or an odd spinner might miss out," the source stated.
