SL vs IND: The Indian cricket team is currently busy playing the ICC T20 World Cup 2024.

The final of this mega event will be played on 29 June. However, the team in blue jersey will not get a chance to rest even after this. They have to go on a Zimbabwe tour in the first week of July. At the same time, in the last week of July, they will go to Sri Lanka to play T20 and ODI series.

Keeping in mind the busy schedule of the players, the selection committee led by Ajit Agarkar has rested the senior players from the Zimbabwe tour and something similar can be seen against Sri Lanka as well.

SL vs IND: Sri Lanka tour will start in last July

Team India has to play 3 T20 and same number of ODI matches against Sri Lanka. According to media reports, the T20 series will start from July 27, while the first ODI will be played on August 2.

With this ODI series, India will start its preparations for the Champions Trophy to be held in Pakistan next year. In such a situation, senior players can be given rest from the T20 series and youngsters can be tried. This can be a great opportunity for young players to prove themselves.

SL vs IND: Hardik Pandya will take command

Team India's all-rounder Hardik Pandya has proved his usefulness as a player. In such a situation, BCCI is looking at him as the future captain. Hardik is the vice-captain of Team India in the ODI World Cup 2023 and T20 World Cup 2024.

This is the reason why Hardik Pandya can be tried as captain by giving Rohit Sharma rest on the Sri Lanka tour. Apart from this, players like Shashank Singh, who made a splash in IPL 2024, can also get the opportunity to wear the Indian jersey.

India's probable squad for Sri Lanka tour –

Hardik Pandya (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Abhishek Sharma, Rinku Singh, Rishabh Pant (WK), Sanju Samson (WK), Shashank Singh, Riyan Parag, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Khaleel Ahmed, Avesh Khan, Arshdeep Singh.
