The schedule for India’s upcoming limited-overs tour of Sri Lanka was unveiled by Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC). The Men in Blue will tour for 3 ODIs and 3 T20Is in July-August to begin a new era under head coach Gautam Gambhir.
Gambhir replaced Rahul Dravid as the team’s head coach, whose tenure ended with the Men in Blue becoming the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 champions.
The Men in Blue will visit Sri Lanka for the first time since 2021 during Covid times. During the previous tour, The Men in Blue played four T20Is and three ODIs. India won the T20I series 3-1 before losing the one-day internationals 2-0.
While India’s first task after becoming T20 global champions is the upcoming five-match T20I series against Zimbabwe, the series against Sri Lanka is expected to see the majority of the global Cup-winning side return to action.
Team India and Sri Lanka will renew their rivalry in white-ball cricket later this year. It will be the two sides’ first meeting in any format since their ODI World Cup match in Mumbai, where they were humiliated by 302 runs.
