The squad includes fast bowlers Jasprit Bumrah, Prasidh Krishna, Harshit Rana, Arshdeep Singh and Gurnoor Brar.
The BCCI said Kohli's inclusion is subject to fitness.
Kohli was ruled out of the ODI series this month against Afghanistan due to injury. India swept the series 3-0.
The board said spinner Varun Chakravarthy has been ruled out of India's T20 series against Ireland, as he continues rehabilitation for a left foot injury sustained during the Indian Premier League.
Shreyas Iyer will captain the updated squad for the Ireland series.
