India T20I, Test Squad for Sri Lanka Series 2022
India's T20 and Test squads, as well as a list of players, have been announced for the 2022 Sri Lanka series. On Saturday evening, the Indian selection committee, led by Chetan Sharma, unveiled the India squads for the T20I and Test series against Sri Lanka. Rohit Sharma, who was selected India's white-ball skipper a few months ago, has been promoted to full-time captain in the red-ball version.
Virat Kohli stepped aside from the job after India's Test series loss to South Africa in January, prompting the 34-year-appointment. old's T20 and Test vice-captain Jasprit Bumrah has been named. Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane, on the other hand, have been left out of the Test team.
"Before making a decision, we gave it a lot of thought. We've already spoken to them and informed them that they will not be participating in the two tests against Sri Lanka. They have complete access to all doors. During a virtual press conference, selection committee head Chetan Sharma informed reporters, "It's just for these two tests." "They have served the country for a long time, so why not bring them back?" It's similar to a graph... Rahane scored a century yesterday. This is a management procedure... "Who wouldn't be delighted if they returned?" he added.
"He is our team's No. 1 player and plays all formats," the selection committee chairman said of Rohit's appointment as captain. We'll talk to him on a regular basis."
"I can't tell you why he's been dropped," Sharma said of Saha's failure to make the cut. That is reserved for selectors. All I can say is that he was told and asked to play in the Ranji Trophy, which is the Indian team's ladder."
"The state association CAB will tell you why he didn't play Ranji." That is not within my purview. We wanted them to play as selectors. We're not looking at a person's age. We decided to take a chance when we noticed a group of young people sitting outdoors. This is for the two test matches. However, it is critical to play Ranji. How will we know if you're match-ready if you don't tell us?
"When we hear that Hardik Pandya is 100 percent fit, we would surely consider him immediately," Sharma said of Hardik Pandya's inclusion.
"If you have his number, speak to him," Sharma told a reporter when asked why he is avoiding the Ranji Trophy. Because you are not a member of the selection committee, you are unable to make a decision. Encourage him. Don't bring up any complaints. "He's done so much for his country."
