Team India: A bilateral series is currently being played between India and Sri Lanka. A series of three T20 and three ODI matches is to be played between the two teams. The T20 series has ended. Team India defeated the host team in their own home and won it 3-0.

Now it is the turn of the ODI series. It is going to start from 2nd August. India's squad has been announced for this. Rohit Sharma has been given the command of the team. Let's take a look and see which players have been given a place in the team.

Rohit Sharma will captain Team India

Rohit Sharma will be leading the Indian team in the three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka starting in Colombo from August 2. Suryakumar Yadav captained India in the T20 series. Rohit was not going to be a part of Team India in the upcoming ODI series.

Actually, he had asked for rest from BCCI.

However, the team's head coach Gautam Gambhir requested Hitman to play the ODI series against Sri Lanka. The reason behind this is that India has to play only 6 ODI matches before the Champions Trophy 2025 to be held in Pakistan next year. In such a situation, Gauti wants the key players of the team to be a part of Team India in all 6 matches.

Return of these players including Virat Kohli

Some star players of Team India are going to return from the upcoming ODI series against Sri Lanka.

Apart from Virat Kohli, the list includes the names of Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul. Let us tell you that both of them played their last ODI during the final of the 2023 World Cup last year.

Apart from this, some youngsters have been given a chance in the team announced by BCCI for the upcoming series against Sri Lanka. Harshit Rana, Riyan Parag, who made a splash during IPL 2024, have been given a place in the team. Let's take a look at India's 15-member squad.

India's squad for the ODI series against Sri Lanka:

Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill (vice-captain), Virat Kohli, KL Rahul (wicketkeeper), Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Shreyas Iyer, Shivam Dubey, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Washington Sundar, Arshdeep Singh, Riyan Parag, Axar Patel, Khalil Ahmed, Harshit Rana.
