Team India: Team India recently went to Sri Lanka soon after Gautam Gambhir was appointed head coach. Team India had won in the T20 series held in Sri Lanka, whereas in the ODI series, Sri Lanka had proved its mettle. In the Test format, both the countries last played a series in the year 2022, whereas Team India played its last series in Sri Lanka in the year 2017.

In such a situation, reports are coming in the media that after years, Team India can once again go to Sri Lanka to play a 2-Test series, for which the selection committee will give the responsibility of captaincy in the 17-member team squad to Jasprit Bumrah.

At the same time, the names of two legendary batsmen of Team India, Virat and Rohit Sharma, will not be selected for this tour.
