India tour of Sri Lanka 2024

I wouldn't say Teekshana has become complacent, he is just limited, everything from his run up to action to grip wouldn't allow him veer off into anything else. The more teams see him, they more comfortable they will play him. Ramesh Mendis vs top team like India is risk. His bowling not great to trouble Indians and the batting not good enough to replace Theekshana.

So the team

Nissanka
Mendis
Kusal P
Avishka
Charith
Kamindu
Dasun
Waniya
Theekshana
Pathirana
Thushara

It was verified by multiple sources that this is a hoax

1. Kusal Mendis
2. Pathum Nissanka
3. Kusal Perera
4. Kamindu Mendis
5. Charith Asalanka
6. Dasun Shanaka
7. Chamindu Wickramasingha
8. Wanidu Hasaranga
9. Mahesh Theekshana
10. Matheesha Pathirana
11. Nuwan Thushara

Shouldn't rush Chamindu. OK to keep him in the squad. Maybe give a go in a less pressure game.

I would also like to see Chamindu for Dasun. Let's see

It looks like Mendis loves the slow wickets of Premadasa. Meanwhile the competition of Chandimal and Kusal P has been ground into the dust

A question lingering in my mind is whether Kusal Mendis can reproduce the form shown at RPS in Pallekele where the T20Is are to be played. Anyway, it seems he will play now whether Asalanka has asked for him or not. I am quite sure Avishka Fernando will play at #4. Kamindu will bat at #6 IMO. I don't see a reason to include Shanaka on current form.

Given his LPL performances, Shanaka as a bowler can still work. I would go with this team:

Nissanka
Mendis
KJP
Avishka
Asalanka
Kamindu
Hasaranga
Shanaka
Theekshana
Pathirana
Binura

Shanaka as a bowler makes no sense. Do you think he's going to have the same effect against IND? Might well as add Wellalage.

Official t20I squad announced.

Asitha Fernando for Dushmantha should have make it
