Seniors agree to feature in ODIs after head coach Gautam Gambhir’s request; Shreyas set for recall
ROHIT Sharma and Virat Kohli have informed the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) that they will be available for three match ODI series against Sri Lanka to be played next month, it is learnt. The BCCI senior selection committee is expected to meet on Thursday evening via zoom call as board secretary Jay Shah has flown to Sri Lanka for the International Cricket Council annual conference.
The Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee in consultation with the BCCI has finally decided that Suryakumar Yadav will lead the Indian T20I team for three match series whereas Rohit will continue to lead the Indian side in the ODIs. The Indian Express had earlier reported how Suryakumar was in line to captain the side in the T20Is as the selectors weren’t sure if they should appoint Pandya as a skipper given his past fitness record. Pandya was India’s vice-captain at their triumphant T20 World Cup campaign.
