The team had a poor outing in the T20 World Cup held in West Indies and USA last month and failed to make it to the Super 8s. Pathirana said before the series- “I think it will be a good challenge. India are coming in with a new coach and some new players; their combination will be a little different. But it will be a good challenge for us because they are the world champions.” “We have a very good team and there is a lot of talent and potential in the team. Unfortunately, we did not perform well in the T20 World Cup. But if we can win this series, it will be a confidence booster for the next three years.” I got opportunities and was selected for the main Sri Lanka team: Mathisha Pathirana It is worth noting that Pathirana is just 21 years old, but even at such a young age he has earned a lot of name for himself. He has credited CSK for being able to do this. “After my Under-19, I was not in any team in Sri Lanka. But since my debut for CSK, I got opportunities and I was selected for the main Sri Lankan team. Playing for CSK is a gift from God for me. When I played for CSK, a lot of people started knowing me. Sharing the dressing room with Mahi bhai (MS Dhoni) is very special for youngsters like me, especially for players coming from Sri Lanka.”

The biggest change in this team is that Suryakumar Yadav will be seen captaining the Indian team in place of Rohit Sharma. Meanwhile, young players have also been given a place in the team for this series. There are some players who have got a place in the team, but it is very difficult for them to get a place in the playing eleven. Let us know which will be those 3 players who will not be a part of the playing 11 in the IND vs SL series. Here’s list of 3 players who will not be part of the playing XI in the IND vs SL series 3. Washington Sundar Washington Sundar (photo source: X/Twitter) Washington Sundar performed brilliantly in the match against Zimbabwe. He was also given the Player of the Match award in this series. But it is difficult for him to get a chance in the series against Sri Lanka. Because for this series, Akshar Patel and Ravi Bishnoi have been given a place in the Indian team. Akshar Patel contributes in bowling as well as batting. Ravi Bishnoi has surpassed Washington Sundar in spin bowling. In such a situation, the chances of Washington Sundar getting a chance are very less.
Akash Chopra is shocked by Kuldeep Yadav not being selected in the T20 series against Sri Lanka, former player gave a big statement
Kuldeep Yadav’s performance has always been very good in international cricket. Kuldeep Yadav (Pic Source X) Former player Aakash Chopra is quite surprised to see why Kuldeep Yadav has not been included in the Indian team for the upcoming T20 series against Sri Lanka. Let us tell you, Kuldeep Yadav’s performance has always been very good in international cricket. He has bowled very well in T20 cricket as well and has won the hearts of many fans. India now has to tour Sri Lanka which is starting from 27th July. The Indian team will first play a three-match T20 series against Sri Lanka and then a three-match ODI series. India has announced its team for both these series. Aakash Chopra has also raised the question as to why Rituraj Gaikwad and Yuzvendra Chahal have not been included in the Indian team for the entire tour. Aakash Chopra shared a video on his official YouTube channel in which he said, ‘Kuldeep Yadav’s name is not in T20 cricket. This is really surprising because this player has recently won the World Cup and his name is not in the T20 team. Has something like this happened that we do not know about? He has been included in the ODI team but I have no idea why the brilliant spinner is not being played in T20.’ Aakash Chopra also gave his opinion on Rituraj Gaikwad and Yuzvendra Chahal Aakash Chopra further said, ‘Yuzvendra Chahal’s name also comes to mind. He was also a part of the World Cup and now he is nowhere. Ravindra Jadeja is also not in the ODI team. What is happening? He has retired from the T20 team but an experienced all-rounder is available for ODIs. If Jadeja is available and still not playing, then I think the Indian team is going in some other direction. Rituraj Gaikwad has also been dropped from both formats. What has Rituraj done that his name has not come up? 6 months ago he was a strong contender to become the captain of the Indian team in which Shubman Gill was not playing but now Gill has become the vice-captain and Rituraj is not even a part of the team. 5 Australian players who scored half-century in their debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th overs of IPL 5 fastest bowlers in IPL history Who are the head coaches of all 10 teams in IPL 2024?

However, through some media reports it has come to light that Rohit Sharma can make himself available for the ODI series and now it seems that Kohli can also be seen playing in the ODI series. Virat Kohli can be seen playing in the ODI series According to a report in The Indian Express, Virat Kohli has made himself available to play the T20 series and has confirmed the same to the Board of Control for Cricket in India. This was after reports that Gautam Gambhir had asked the seniors to make themselves available for the series. Senior players like Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav are going to return for the Sri Lanka tour. In such a situation, the biggest question is going to be about the new captain of the Indian T20 team. BCCI and new head coach Gambhir are looking for a captain till the next T20 World Cup 2026. According to the report, Suryakumar Yadav can captain the T20 series against Sri Lanka. Let us tell you that the Indian team will start the Sri Lanka tour on 27th July.

Rohit Sharma may play ODI series against Sri Lanka, uncertainty remains over Virat and Bumrah! Big report revealed
Rohit Sharma (Photo Source: X/Twitter) A new era is about to begin in Indian cricket as Gautam Gambhir will soon begin his first assignment as the team’s new head coach. The Men in Blue will tour Sri Lanka to take part in three T20Is followed by three ODIs is all set to do so. The ODI series will be extremely important for India as it will mark the start of their preparations for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 to be held in Pakistan in February. This is India’s last ODI series before the tournament. Meanwhile, there were reports that Rohit Sharma would be rested from this series after winning the T20 World Cup 2024. But now such reports are coming out that Rohit Sharma can be seen captaining in the ODI series. Team India’s new head coach Gautam Gambhir has made it clear that every player will have to be available for all three formats. It has also been clearly stated in the report that the board has not put any pressure on these players to play. However, there have been some indications from Rohit Sharma that he may make himself available for the three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka in August. Considering that Team India has very few ODI matches to prepare before the Champions Trophy to be held in February-March 2025. Rohit Sharma can play in the ODI series against Sri Lanka According to the Cricbuzz report, this is the reason why Rohit Sharma can be seen in these three ODIs. He is currently enjoying his holidays in the US. It is expected that he will inform the BCCI about his availability soon, possibly he will send his reply to the board before the online meeting on Wednesday. If Rohit Sharma decides to play in the ODI series, he will undoubtedly lead the team. However, players like Jasprit Bumrah and Virat Kohli have been rested for the Sri Lanka series and their chances of joining the team are low. If Rohit Sharma does not play in this series, then KL Rahul can captain the ODI series. Apart from this, Shreyas Iyer can also return to the ODI team.
