Why Shubman Gill, And Not Hardik Pandya, Was Made Vice-Captain For T20Is vs Sri Lanka - Explained

The firebrand Gautam Gambhir announced his arrival as India's head coach by successfully ensuring the ascension of Suryakumar Yadav as the new T20 captain in place of Hardik Pandya, who seemed primed for the leadership role after Rohit Sharma's international retirement from the format. India's six-match white-ball series against Sri Lanka isn't exactly a run-of-the-mill bilateral engagement for Gambhir, whose mind seems to have aligned with chairman of selectors Ajit Agarkar on the issue of captaincy. Both men decided unanimously to make Suryakumar the skipper keeping in mind the next T20 World Cup to be jointly hosted by India and Sri Lanka in 2026.

BCCI's Stern Mandate Amid India vs Sri Lanka Squad Announcement That Will Impact Future Selections

The BCCI's media statement announcing the India cricket squad for the Sri Lanka Tour was an interesting one. Both the ODI and T20I squads had several interesting choices and omissions. Suryakumar's promotion as India T20I captain and Pandya's demotion from the leadership group were the main talking points. However, there was one line in the statement which seemed to convey a strong message. The BCCI media statement said that the Board "will continue to monitor player availability and participation in the upcoming domestic cricket season, 2024-25."

Why T20I Captain Suryakumar Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja Were Dropped From ODI Team, Report Explains

The Team India squad announcement for the white-ball tour of Sri Lanka was a bitter-sweet moment for Suryakumar Yadav. While the attacking batter would've been jubilant to get the team's captaincy in T20Is, he was also dropped from the ODI squad, with the selectors and new head coach Gautam Gambhir making their stance clear. Suryakumar was a part of India's ODI World Cup squad in 2023 but failed to repay the trust that selectors showed in him. Hence, the 360-degree batter was snubbed for a spot in the Indian team for the ODIs in the island nation.

Watch: Harmanpreet Stunned By Reporter's Query, Says "None Of My Business"

Indian women's team captain Harmanpreet Kaur had an awkward moment in the joint-captains' press conference ahead of the start of the Asia Cup 2024 on Friday. Addressing media, Harmanpreet was asked about the lack of support for women's cricket by a reporter. While the India skipper needed some assistance in understanding the question, she found the query both baffling and amusing. Even Sri Lanka women's team skipper Chamari Athapaththu couldn't stop laughing at the question. The reporter cited the example of Team India's recent tour of Bangladesh as he wondered if something needed to be done about women's cricket's poor media coverage.

On Past Conflicts With Gautam Gambhir, Virat Kohli's Clear Message To BCCI

As Gautam Gambhir begins his stint as the head coach of the Indian cricket team, many were left wondering what the situation would mean for Virat Kohli, a player who has had numerous on-field tussles with the former India opener. After Rahul Dravid's exit as India's head coach was confirmed, Gambhir emerged as the clear and favourite alternative, especially considering the work he has done in the Indian Premier League (IPL) over the last 2-3 years. With Virat Kohli also giving the nod to be a part of India's ODI assignment against Sri Lanka, it would be the first time that he would be working with Gambhir in the same team.

Ishan Kishan Snubbed Again, Report Reveals Only Way India Star Can Return

Shreyas Iyer, the IPL-winning skipper of the KKR team of which Gambhir was the mentor, made a deserving national comeback after a rap on the knuckles from the selection committee for repeatedly avoiding domestic cricket last season. The batter had attributed it to his dodgy lower back. Iyer wasn't technically dropped from ODIs as he had scored a fifty in the last ODI that India played but now that he is back in the mix, he will get his central contract back automatically. But the same can't be said about Ishan Kishan, who is believed to be nowhere on the selection radar.

Heated Debate In BCCI Meet, Report Says Players' Trust Saw Suryakumar Yadav Pip Hardik Pandya For Captaincy

The India vs Sri Lanka T20I and ODI series, which starts later this month, will begin a new chapter for Indian cricket. Under new head coach Gautam Gambhir, the side will embark on a mission to add to more laurels. The sides picked bear interesting looks with the biggest change being the T20I captaincy. After Rohit Sharma retired from the format after the T20 World Cup 2024 win, it was thought that designated vice-captain Hardik Pandya would be promoted as the skipper.

Shashi Tharoor's Harsh Dig At Selectors Over India Squad For Sri Lanka Tour

Lok Sabha MP and cricket's avid fan, Shashi Tharoor has lashed out at the BCCI's selection committee for the squads picked for the upcoming Sri Lanka tour. The team selected by the board had some surprise exclusions that dragged the attention of Tharoor. He raised his voice against the omission of Sanju Samson from ODIs and Abhishek Sharma from T20Is. While Samson made it to the squad for the shortest format series against Sri Lanka, Abhishek -- who scored a sensational century in the recently concluded five-match T20I series against Zimbabwe -- was overlooked for the tour.
