India cricket team is set to visit Sri Lanka for a 3-match Test Series, 5-match ODI series and 1 T20 International starting from July 26.
After the grand home season 2016/17, India will once again return to Test cricket, after playing ODIs and T20Is for 2 months. It will be a interesting series for Indian cricket fans as we will see India playing under a new coach, the announcement of which is expected to be made on Monday, for the first time.
India have made a couple of changes in the squad that played against Australia earlier this month. Mumbai batsman Rohit Sharma has replaced Karun Nair, who failed to make an impact after scoring a triple-hundred against England earlier this year.
KL Rahul, who is regarded as one of the best batsmen in Indian across all three formats of the game, has also recovered from his injury. His scores from the last Test series against Australia read: 10, 64, 51, 90, 67, 60 and 51 not out.
Swashbuckling all-rounder Hardik Pandya has also been included in the squad.
Interestingly, Kuldeep Yadav has been retained in the squad who made an exceptional Test debut last March against Australia.
