Anyway, Sri Lanka is not competitive side it used to be once. So, it could also turn out one-sided affair as this current series against Zimbabwe turned out
On 26th July the series is starting between India and Sri Lankan team and I think this time they should not do this mistake to given their b team to play against them.
Surya, Hardik inclusion (who two gets removed idk) and rest squad as same would be enough for SL series tbh.
On 1 March 2025, there is a match between Pakistan and India and India also agrees to come here to play in Pakistan, otherwise, for sure they will be out of this tournament and Sri Lanka come in. However, the purpose of saying this is just to be prepared for this series.
Wait, did India agree to come to Pakistan for CT? I was reading it's unlikely to happen and India's matches may get scheduled elsewhere (in Dubai or in SL).
Also, on a note, Ricky Ponting is now no longer head coach of Delhi Capitals:
