India To Face Sri Lanka In Upcoming Cricket Series Starting July 26

India is set to face Sri Lanka in a six-match limited-overs series starting on July 26. Initially scheduled for July 27, the series has been moved up by a day.

The Indian team will play three T20Is and three ODIs during their tour of Sri Lanka. This series marks the debut of Gautam Gambhir as the new head coach.

T20I Series

1st T20I - July 26

2nd T20I - July 27

3rd T20I - July 28

ODI Series

1st ODI - August 1

2nd ODI - August 4

3rd ODI - August 7

The schedule places the T20I matches first, followed by the ODI matches. While the venues have not been confirmed, announcements are expected soon.

The Indian team is anticipated to arrive in Sri Lanka on July 22. Dambulla and Colombo are likely hosts for the matches, but official confirmation is pending.

Following their T20 World Cup victory, Hardik Pandya is expected to captain India in the T20 series against Sri Lanka. Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Jasprit Bumrah might not be selected for the ODI series either. Rohit and Virat have retired from T20 cricket but are expected to return for ODIs after this series. They have been given an extended break due to their exceptional performances in the T20 World Cup.

This upcoming series will be crucial as it marks a new chapter under Gautam Gambhir's leadership. Fans eagerly await how the team performs with these changes.
