BCCI announces India's T20I, Test squads against Sri Lanka

The BCCI on Saturday announced India's T20 International and Test squads for its home series against Sri Lanka. Rohit Sharma will lead the side in both formats while Jasprit Bumrah has been named his deputy, said chairman of selectors, Chetan Sharma. Senior Test batsmen Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane have been dropped from the squad after recurring poor form. Senior pacer Ishant Sharma and wicket-keeper Wriddhiman Saha have also been omitted from the side.

Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant have been rested for the T20I leg while Shardul Thakur has been given a break from the entire series. KL Rahul and Washington Sundar have been ruled out of the series after sustaining injuries during the ODIs against West Indies.

Ravindra Jadeja who missed India's recent tour to South Africa has been drafted back into both squads after completing his rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy. In Pant's absence, Sanju Samson and Ishan Kishan will be in contention to don the gloves in the T20Is.
