IND vs SL: India have reached Sri Lanka for the white-ball tour, which will start on July 27 with a three-match T20 series, which will be played at Pallekele International Stadium. India will be led by Suryakumar Yadav, and Charith Asalanka has been named the captain of Sri Lanka. Some names from India’s ICC T20 World Cup 2024 have made the squad.
Meanwhile, Sri Lanka have also named some exciting names to their squad. This is going to be a great series as India are looking to build up a new team after the retirements from Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Ravindra Jadeja. That is why it is very important. Sri Lanka have also dropped a number of senior players, including Angelo Mathews, and they are also searching for a new combination.
