Meanwhile, Kohli was back in Mumbai after the Indian Premier League 2021 was suspended in the wake of the Covid-19 surge across the country. Reports suggest that India will not host the remaining 31 matches. Several countries like UAE, UK, and Sri Lanka are in the fray to host the remainder of the season as and when it resumes.
Meanwhile, the BCCI announced India’s 20-member squad for the World Test Championship final followed by the England series. Several test regulars made a comeback to the squad while there were some surprising omissions as well.
BCCI President Sourav Ganguly also confirmed that India will be touring to Sri Lanka in July for three ODIs and five T20Is. Sri Lanka will be playing 3 T20Is and 3 ODIs against Eoin Morgan’s side in England and the tour comes to an end on July 4. Meanwhile, the test series between India and England also starts from August 4. This means that there is a month’s window for the series against Sri Lanka to be played.
Considering the strict travel restrictions in place due to COVID for the players it might so happen that BCCI might announce a second-string Indian squad for the series.
