T2oi world cup

T2OI World Cup: In a significant leadership change for the Indian men's cricket team, Suryakumar Yadav is poised to lead the T20I side in the upcoming tour of Sri Lanka which commences on July 27.

IANS understands that the T2OI World Cup vice-captain Hardik Pandya might be left out from the Indian squad for Sri Lanka which is expected to be announced on Wednesday afternoon. Pandya has excused himself, citing personal and family reasons for his unavailability. Hardik will return to the Indian side against Bangladesh for T2OIs.

Suryakumar will take over from Rohit Sharma, who recently led India to victory in the T20 World Cup before retiring from the format, along with veterans Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja.
