Prasidh Krishna will travel to Ireland for 3 T20Is in his international cricket return after nearly a year.
Krishna has underwent surgery to correct the stress fracture in his back and then rehabbed at the NCA in Bengaluru. He was seen bowling at full speed in nets at the facility, which also has players like Jasprit Bumrah, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, and KL Rahul, who are recovering from their respective ailments.
Prasidh is scheduled to leave for Ireland on August 15 from Mumbai along with other Indian players including captain Jasprit Bumrah. India will play three T20Is against Ireland on August 18, 20, and 23 at Malahide, Dublin.
Therefore, the tall pacer decided to play in the KSCA tournament to get back in match fitness and delivered two overs of full intensity and pace, and grabbed a wicket while conceding 13 runs.

Prasidh clean bowled his Karnataka teammate Luvnith Sisodia for a three-ball duck to underline his readiness to tackle bigger responsibilities. However, his spell was not enough to give the Warriors a win as the Tigers registered a nine-wicket win in a rain-hit match at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.

Prasidh had also bowled in the KSCA T20 tournament for G Kasturirangan Memorial Trophy tournament last month. He took four wickets (4-0-36-4) in that match for Mount Joy Cricket Club against Sir Syed Cricketers.
