Not Hardik Pandya or Shikhar Dhawan, but this player can be handed over to Sri Lanka tour

In July, Team India will tour Sri Lanka where they will play ODI and T20 series. Many senior players of Team India, including Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, will not go on this tour. In a way, the BCCI will send the B team of Team India on this tour. In such a situation, the discussion is on who will be the player who will be handed the captaincy of Team India on the tour of Sri Lanka.

BCCI official has informed PTI on the condition of anonymity that Team India’s command of Sri Lanka can be handed over to Shreyas Iyer. According to the official, if Iyer is fully fit, then he will be the first choice of the selectors as the captain of Team India.

Shreyas Iyer has played some good innings for Team India in the last one year. He has also captained the Delhi Capitals in the IPL. In such a situation, the possibility of him becoming the captain of Team India is the strongest.

Suspense on Iyer’s departure for Sri Lanka tour

It is not yet clear whether Shreyas Iyer will be able to fully recover from the injury. Whether he will be able to fit the match to go to Sri Lanka tour, the question still remains.

Usually, after the kind of surgery he has done, after rest, rehab and training, it takes at least four months to return.

Team India will visit Sri Lanka in July

When the Indian team visits Sri Lanka in July, then the senior players of the team will be busy in the preparations for the 5-Test series against England. Therefore, B team of India will compete against Sri Lanka on this tour.
