Rohit Sharma may play Sri Lanka ODI series: India's squad is yet to be selected for the Sri Lanka tour starting from July 27. Team India has to play 3-3 T20 and ODI matches in Sri Lanka. Separate teams are expected to be announced for both these series. At the same time, a new captain will be appointed in the T20 format, because Rohit Sharma announced his retirement after the T20 World Cup.

After becoming champions, the players of Team India celebrated a lot and then the senior players were given a break. Due to this, many big players including Rohit were not seen in the Zimbabwe series and it was expected that Rohit's magic will not be seen in the ODI matches against Sri Lanka as well. However, now a change can be seen in this.

Rohit Sharma may be seen in the ODI series against Sri Lanka

Recently, there were reports in the media that Team India's new head coach Gautam Gambhir wants the senior players to take part in the ODI series against Sri Lanka, as after this there is going to be a long break again. However, now there are indications that regular captain Rohit Sharma may return. Rohit last participated in the T20 World Cup 2024 and has been on a break since then. The Champions Trophy is to be held next year and Team India does not have to play many matches before that. For this reason, Rohit can take the decision to play the Sri Lanka series.

Who will be the captain in the Sri Lanka ODI series?

If Rohit Sharma decides to play in the ODI series starting on August 2, then the responsibility of captaincy will also be on his shoulders. If he does not return, then the captaincy can be handed over to KL Rahul.

Let us tell you that Hardik Pandya has already declared himself unavailable for the ODI series. Apart from this, Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah are also unlikely to play in the ODI series against Sri Lanka. However, Shreyas Iyer may return from this series.
