The Indian cricket team is going to tour Sri Lanka later this month, where 3 T20 and 3 ODI matches are going to be played between the two teams. The BCCI has not yet announced the squad of Team India for this tour starting from July 27. Rohit Sharma retired from the most T20I format of cricket after India's T20 World Cup win in the West Indies last month. In such a situation, the Indian team is also going to announce the new T20 captain for this series. This team was to be selected on July 17, but then news came out that the selection committee meeting was postponed.

When will Team India be announced?

There will be a lot of changes in Team India from this tour. It is believed that BCCI wants to send a strong team for this tour, which will also include senior players. But Rohit and Virat Kohli have left the T20I format. In such a situation, there is a lot of tension about their replacement. On the other hand, there are also reports that BCCI also wants to confirm the name of the captain of the T20 team till the 2026 T20 World Cup, due to which the announcement of the team is getting delayed. However, Team India is likely to be announced today on Thursday.

There is a tug of war going on for the name of the captain

There is a lot of discussion about the next captain of the Indian team in T20. For the last several times, Hardik Pandya was leading the team in Rohit's absence. But after Gautam Gambhir became the head coach, Suryakumar Yadav's name has also been included in this race. Not only this, it is believed that Suryakumar Yadav has also overtaken Pandya in this race. BCCI is brainstorming to choose its permanent captain in this format. But Pandya has failed to play cricket consistently for Team India for a long time. His workload management is a big challenge for the team, due to which he is lagging behind in the race for captaincy. It is believed that the biggest reason for the delay in the announcement of the team is the ongoing tug of war over the new captain.

Who will get rest: Rohit, Virat or Bumrah?

India does not have to play many ODIs before the Champions Trophy to be held in February-March next year. In such a situation, the question is who among Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Jaspreet Bumrah should be given rest on this tour. If the report of Cricbuzz is to be believed, Rohit Sharma can be seen playing the ODI series on the Sri Lanka tour. At the same time, Virat and Jaspreet have asked for a break from the Sri Lanka tour, which has been approved. This means that Rohit Sharma will be seen captaining the ODI team on this tour.
