The director of cricket at the National Cricket Academy, VVS Laxman, is likely to be India's head coach for the two-match T20I series against Ireland in June, according to media reports.
Laxman will be filling in Rahul Dravid given the latter would be with India's Test squad for the rescheduled fifth Test from last year and the limited-over series against England.
India's selection committee is likely to announce a separate squad for the South Africa home series and Ireland T20Is on May 22.
Meanwhile, the Indian Test squad is likely to leave for England on June 15.
Last year, the same type of arrangement was made, when Shikhar Dhawan led the Indian side for the limited-overs game against Sri Lanka with Rahul Dravid as head coach. While Virat Kohli-led side was in England for the ICC World Test Championship final with Ravi Shastri as head coach.

IPL 2022: In the business end of the competition, Royal Challengers Bangalore will take on Gujarat Titans in their last match on Thursday at Wankhede Stadium.
Faf du Plessis-led Royal Challengers Bangalore will have to win against Gujarat as they are placed 5th on the points table with 14 points. Delhi Capitals also have 14 points and are placed 4th courtesy of RCB's loss in their previous match. If RCB win against GT and DC lose to MI, RCB will have 16 points and will qualify for the playoffs but if Delhi win, RCB's chances to qualify are uncertain as their run-rate of - 0.323 is not good enough.  
On the other hand, Hardik Pandya-led Gujarat Titans have been enjoying their maiden IPL season as they are the only team to have officially qualified for the playoffs. The team will not have to worry even if they lose against Bangalore as their top finish on the points table is already confirmed. Having won 10 out of 13 matches, GT has 20 points and are placed at top on the points table.

In their 2nd last league game against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Mumbai Indians’ ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah accomplished another feat. Bumrah who clean bowled Washington Sundar on the last ball of the Hyderabad’s innings has become the first Indian fast bowler to complete 250 wickets in T20 cricket. The 28-year-old bowler reached this milestone in 206 T20 matches.
Though Bumrah did not have a great season in terms of a number of wickets this IPL season, the pacer was the most economical bowler for the 5-time IPL champions who had a horrendous IPL outing this year. Bumrah has 12 wickets in 13 matches with an economy of 7.25.
After Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar Kumar is on the list of fastest bowlers to take the most wickets in T20. Kumar has taken 223 wickets, while Jaydev Unadkat is present at number three with 201 wickets.

Umran Malik and Rahul Tripathi starred as Sunrisers Hyderabad handed Mumbai Indians a narrow 3-run defeat to stay on course for the IPL 2022 playoff race on Tuesday.
Chasing a huge 194-run target, Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma’s 95-run opening stand provided Mumbai the perfect stage to fire. However, a terrible collapse after Rohit Sharma lost his wicket to Washington Sundar hurt their chase badly. Umran Malik turned the game around with a crucial 3-wicket haul as Mumbai could only make 32 in the middle overs between 10 to 15. Tim David’s brilliant cameo of 46 in 18 brought back hope for Mumbai, but he ran himself out in the 18th over. Thereafter a superb 19th over by Bhuvneshwar Kumar helped the team snap their 5 match losing streak by restricting Mumbai to 190/7.
Earlier, Rahul Tripathi revived Hyderabad’s innings after they lost their opener Abhishek Sharma early. Rahul Tripathi who scored 76 from 44 balls was ably supported by Priyam Garg (42) and Nicholas Pooran (38). They together guided Sunrisers Hyderabad to a challenging 193/6.

It was a day to remember for New Zealand's Tim Southee, both with bat and the ball. Kiwis had a disastrous start on 1st Day of the Christchurch Test, as Suranga Lakmal ran through their top order to reduce the hosts to 64/6. Then began the great Kiwi fightback. Tim Southee with a 65 ball 68 put up a 108 run 7th wicket stand with BJ Watling. New Zealand though were bowled out for 178. It was once again Southee who removed Sri Lanka's top 3 quickly to become New Zealand's 3rd highest Test wicket taker. Sri Lanka ended day 1 at 88/4.

Lucknow Super Giants have become the second team after Gujarat Titans to register a place in IPL 2022 playoffs after the KL Rahul-led side edged out Kolkata Knight Riders by a mere 2 runs in a last-ball thriller on Wednesday night (May 19). Lucknow are currently placed second on the IPL 2022 points table and they will keep the second spot if Rajasthan Royals, placed at the third spot on IPL 2022 leaderboard, lost their match against Chennai Super Kings on Friday (May 20) or win the match by just a small margin.
Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals are at the 4th spot with one match in hand and a better net run rate than Royal Challengers Bangalore, who are placed at fifth. The fate of RCB will be decided on May 20, when they lock horns with Gujarat Titans in their last round-robin match. If they manage to win their last fixture then they will close the doors for Sunrisers Hyderabad, placed at 8th spot, and Punjab Kings, placed at 7th spot, for playoffs given the two sides are hoping to make it to the last four at 14 points. Delhi have to play Mumbai Indians in their last league match and a win could earn them a playoff spot with 16 points.
Moreover, Jos Buttler continues to be the leading run-scorer in IPL 2022 with 627 runs in 13 games and currently holding the orange cap. Yuzvendra Chahal has regained the purple cap from Wanindu Hasaranga after he got a wicket in the match against Lucknow Super Giants. Chahal now has 24 wickets in 13 games.

WHAT-A-GAME, with so many momentum shifts throughout the last 20 overs, Lucknow Super Giants sealed the game by the narrowest margin, 2 runs, as they booked a place in playoffs by registering a win over Kolkata Knight Riders at DY Patil Stadium on Wednesday night.
Kolkata's majestic run-chase was a classic example of a T20 contest given they lost both the openers early. But Shreyas Iyer stitched a counter-attacking 50-run stand with Nitish Rana first. Then another fifty-run stand with Sam Billings in 24 balls kept Kolkata the mammoth chase on track. Kolkata lost momentum in the death overs. However, Rinku Singh and Sunil Narine kept KKR in the hunt with some big blows. With 21 needed off the last over, Rinku tonked a four, and two back-to-back sixes off the first three balls before a one-handed stunner from Evin Lewis ended the southpaw innings. Stoinis cleaned up Umesh Yadav off the last delivery thus winning the game for Lucknow.
