Many senior cricketers won't be available for Team India during the upcoming series. The likes of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah will instead be in England ahead of India's five-match Test series starting in August.
The team for the Sri Lanka series is a mixture of youth and experienced players with Shikhar Dhawan slotting in as captain. Bhuvneshwar Kumar will be serving as Dhawan's deputy during the series.
Most of the Indian cricketers picked for the Sri Lanka tour were last seen in action during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021, which was indefinitely postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
IPL 2021 is set to resume in the September-October window and it will be held in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
