(Image Source: BCCI/X) BCCI recently announced the squad of Team India for the Sri Lanka tour starting from 27th July. Three ODIs and three T20 series will be played between the two teams on this tour. The selectors took a lot of time to announce this series. It is believed that there was a lot of debate between Gautam Gambhir, who recently became the head coach of Team India, and the selectors and only then the team was announced for this tour. This selection meeting of Team India lasted for several hours over two days. If reports are to be believed, there were differences of opinion as well as heated debates in the meeting. During the meeting itself, many players were called and discussions were held with them about long term planning. It is being said that, Surya being selected as the vice-captain before Hardik in captaincy and Gill being selected as the vice-captain before Rahul in ODIs is a very important step taken for the future of Indian cricket. The Indian Express report claims that this selection meeting was different from all other meetings as it was full of heated debates and disagreements. Phone calls were made to the players and the long term planning of the team management was explained to them. Players showed more trust in Suryakumar Yadav than Hardik Pandya According to the Indian Express report, there was also a view in the team selection meeting that not making the current vice-captain of the T20 team, i.e. Hardik Pandya, the captain would be unfair to him. Especially when he has performed amazingly during the World Cup. An Indian Express report claims that due to the trust of the players, the scales tilted in favor of Suryakumar Yadav. The report states that the ‘feedback’ received by the BCCI was that the players ‘trusted Yadav more than Pandya’ and were comfortable working under him. Surya’s man management is said to have impressed the selectors. When Ishan Kishan was about to leave the Indian camp midway through the South Africa tour last year, Yadav tried to convince him to stay back.

(Image Source: X) The second T20 match between India and Afghanistan (IND vs AFG) is to be played in Indore today. Virat Kohli, who was unavailable in the first match, has joined the team and is ready to return to the field. However, Kohli’s return in the second T20 against Afghanistan can now become a headache for the team management. Since before the first T20, Rahul Dravid, while explaining the unavailability of Virat Kohli, had said that Yashasvi Jaiswal would open the innings with Rohit Sharma, but it did not happen and Shubman Gill started the innings with the Indian captain. Was started. Before the match started, Rohit Sharma had told that Jaiswal was not playing due to back pain. Now with the arrival of Kohli, there are many options for the opening pair. Meanwhile, with Kohli preparing to return to the playing eleven, former cricketer Parthiv Patel has backed Virat to open the innings with captain Rohit. Let us tell you that Virat Kohli last played a T20 match for India in the 2022 T20 World Cup. Debate broke out regarding opening Parthiv Patel said on Jio Cinema before the series decider in Indore, Virat Kohli’s contribution as an opening batsman has been huge. Whenever he has played as an opening batsman for India in T20 cricket, he has scored a lot of runs. He can decide the direction of the innings. If he gets a chance to face 120 balls, he can score a big score. Whereas former Indian cricketer Saba Karim wants Kohli to bat at number-3. He said, I am seeing Virat at number-3, keeping in mind that the upcoming T20 World Cup is to be played in West Indies and USA. India will play on a slow wicket in the Super-8 in West Indies. There you need someone who can control the entire innings. I think Rohit Sharma is supporting Virat Kohli for that role. read this also- BBL 2024: Perth Scorchers included this powerful batsman in the squad at the end of the season
