Let us tell you that according to the FTP, India has to tour Sri Lanka in August 2026. During this time a two-match Test series will be played between the two. If we talk about the Indian team (Team India), then there may be a change in it.
Because Team India has lost in the Border Gavaskar Trophy after 10 years. After this defeat, the top officials of BCCI held a review meeting with the coach, captain, and selectors. After this, there is a possibility of change in the Indian Test team
Jaspreet Bumrah is the captain and these four senior players are out
If we talk about the captaincy of Team India against Sri Lanka, then it is quite possible that Jasprit Bumrah can captain here in place of Rohit Sharma. Because he is currently in the role of vice-captain, which makes it clear that BCCI is looking at him as the next Test captain (Team India). Apart from Rohit, it seems difficult for Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja, and KL Rahul to get a chance. These players were not able to make any significant impact in the match with their performance in the Border Gavaskar Trophy.
These players will support bowling
On the other hand, if we talk about bowling, Mohammad Siraj and Mohammad Shami are sure to get a chance. Akashdeep and Prasidh Krishna can be included with them. BCCI can give a chance to Tanush Kotia and Washington Sundar as spinners in Team India. Along with this, Akshar can also make a place with these two.
Team India’s probable squad for 2 Test matches against Sri Lanka:
Shubman Gill, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shreyas Iyer, Sarfaraz Khan, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Dhruv Jurel (wicketkeeper), Tanush Kotia, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Jasprit Bumrah (captain), Mohammed Siraj, Mohammed Shami and Akashdeep.
