BCCI on Thursday announced India's 20-man squad for limited over tour to Sri Lanka. While opener Shikhar Dhawan will lead the Men in Blue, Devdutt Paddikkal, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Nitish Rana, K Gowtham and Chetan Sakariya have received their maiden call ups. Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been named as the vice-captain of the team and Sanju Samson too gets a chance.
The 3-match ODI series and 3-match T20I series are scheduled to begin from July 13th.
Since the main squad and skipper Virat Kohli are busy with the preparations of the inaugural WTC and the subsequent 5 match Test series vs England, the team for the Sri Lanka tour has a lot of new faces
