The Indian team is scheduled to tour Sri Lanka later this month to play 3 T20Is and 3 ODIs. The T20I will be played first followed by the ODI series. The first T20 match starts on the 27th.
BCCI announced the T20 squad and ODI squad for this yesterday. Accordingly, Suryakumar Yadav was appointed as the T20 captain and Rohit Sharma as the ODI captain. Rudraaj, Samson and Abhishek Sharma were not included in the team for this series which caused dissatisfaction among the fans.
In this case, Lok Sabha MP and cricket fan Shashi Tharoor criticized the selection of the Indian team against the Sri Lankan team.
In this regard he said:-
An interesting squad choice for the Indian team that will tour Sri Lanka later this month. Samson, who scored a century in his last ODI. But he was not selected for ODIs.
Abhishek Sharma also scored a century in the T20 series in Zimbabwe. He wasn’t picked either. The success of these players means little to the selectors. Congrats to the team anyway.
It is worth mentioning that Gautham Gambhir will be acting as the new head coach of the Indian team from this series.
Indian T20 Team:
Suryakumar Yadav, Subman Gill, Yashshwi Jaiswal, Ringu Singh, Ryan Barrack, Rishabh Pant, Sanju Samson, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dubey, Akshar Patel, Washington Sundar, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Khalil Ahmed, Mohd. Siraj.
Indian ODI Team:
Rohit Sharma, Subman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer, Shivam Dubey, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohd. Siraj, Washington Sundar, Arshdeep Singh, Ryan Barak, Akshar Patel, Khalil Ahmed, Harshid Rana.
