India vs Sri Lanka: ODI and T20I squads, venue, match date and timings, Full Schedule
India vs Sri Lanka: India's cricket career is about to take a new turn under the direction of Suryakumar Yadav and recently hired head coach Gautam Gambhir. Since they first played together for the Kolkata Knight Riders in 2014, the two have shared a close bond that Suryakumar describes as unique and powerful.

Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya (only in Twenty20 Internationals), Riyan Parag, and Shivam Dube are among the strong all-rounders on the Indian team. This might mean a change in the team's makeup, especially for One-Day Internationals (ODIs), where an all-arounder combination of bowling and batting can be used.
India's next trip to Sri Lanka will have two different captains leading them for the T20I and ODI legs, starting on July 27.
Axar Patel, Shivam Dube, Washington Sundar, Riyan Parag, and Hardik Pandya (limited to Twenty20 internationals) are among the strong all-rounders on the Indian team. This could lead to a change in the lineup, especially in one-day internationals (ODIs), where an all-arounder who can bat and bowl can be selected.
A spin-bowling option in the top or middle order is now available with the addition of Riyan Parag, who has been absent from India's ODI lineup for a number of years.
India's bowling attack will be led by Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Siraj, Khaleel Ahmed, and Harshit Rana (in ODIs). In order to strengthen their fast bowling arsenal, the club has decided to try out fresh players while Jasprit Bumrah is on leave and Mohammed Shami is recuperating from heel surgery.
Conversely, the absence of Dushmantha Chameera (bronchitis and respiratory infection) and Nuwan Thushara (broken finger) has adversely affected Sri Lanka's bowling assault.
???? Nuwan Thushara will not take part in the T20I series, as the player suffered an injury to his left thumb while fielding during practices last night.

Sri Lanka is now going through a difficult time after its early elimination from the most recent T20 World Cup. Wanindu Hasaranga, the captain, Chris Silverwood, the coach, and Mahela Jayawardene, the consulting coach, all tendered their resignations following the underwhelming performance in the Americas.
The 'Matara Marauder,' also known as Sanath Jayasuriya, has been named Sri Lanka's interim coach.
The ODI team will be led by Kusal Mendis, and the Test team will be led by Dhananjaya de Silva.
When and where is the Sri Lanka vs. India match happening?
The tour will begin with two consecutive T20Is on July 27 and 28 at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, followed by the series finale on July 30.
The matches will be followed by Colombo, where three ODIs will be played on August 2, 4, and 7 at the R. Premadasa International Cricket Stadium.
This is India's first white-ball bilateral visit to the island nation since 2021, when Rahul Dravid was the head coach and Shikhar Dhawan captained the side.
