In a noteworthy update, the BCCI announced on Thursday (July 18) the recall of Shreyas Iyer to the 15-member squad for the upcoming ODI series against Sri Lanka. Iyer, the captain of KKR, has been reinstated under the guidance of Gautam Gambhir, who is set to start his tenure as India’s new head coach.

Additionally, the squad will include stalwarts Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Rohit Sharma will lead the team as captain, with Shubman Gill appointed as his vice-captain. KL Rahul also makes a return to the squad, while Rishabh Pant retains his position as well.

Shivam Dube has been included in the squad, specifically to fill the gap left by Hardik Pandya, who is taking a break from the 50-over format. Additionally, Riyan Parag, Washington Sundar, and Khaleel Ahmed have secured spots in the team.
