The Indian cricket team is going to tour Sri Lanka to play a series of 3 T20Is and 3 ODIs. The Indian squad for the series was announced last week. Accordingly, Suryakumar Yadav will lead the Indian team for the three-match T20I series against Sri Lanka starting tomorrow, Saturday (July 27) at Pallekale.
With captain Rohit Sharma retiring from T20I, he will lead the Indian team for the three-match ODI series starting August 2, following the T20I series. Head coach Rahul Dravid bids farewell to the Indian team after the T20 World Cup series. Thus, Gautam Gambhir has been appointed in his post. As this is his first series as a head coach, expectations are high.
Charit Asalanga took over as captain from Vanindu Hasaranga. Similarly, Sanath Jayasuriya has replaced Chris Silverwood as the interim head coach. With these changes, Sri Lankan cricket is expected to show good progress.
