Shreyas Iyer Highlights Belfast Ground Challenges Ahead of England T20I Series
India captain Shreyas Iyer attributed the team's recent 0-2 T20I series loss to Ireland partly to challenging ground conditions in Belfast, describing the outfield as uneven with unusual dimensions that complicated fielding and strategy. He contrasted this with the upcoming series in England, where familiar, flat grounds and intense stadium atmospheres are expected. Iyer noted that unlike the IPL's uniformly even grounds, Belfast's unique conditions required adjustments India struggled to make.
