Preview

India will host Sri Lanka in the first T20I of the three-match series on Tuesday (January 3) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Hardik Pandy will be leading a very young Indian team in this series along with Suryakumar Yadav, who has been appointed as the vice-captain for this series. The team lost the semi-final of the T20 World Cup last year, and since then, there has been uncertainty looming over the team's future. With Hardik in the realm, the Indian team management might have hinted at how the team will look in the future. But plenty of questions about the team combination still need to be answered.

Sri Lanka won the Asia Cup last year after defeating Pakistan in the final. But they couldn't recreate the same magic in the T20 World Cup as they lost their opening game against Namibia and then lost three out of four matches in their last stage. Asitha Fernando and Jeffery Vandersay, who were a part of the T20 WC squad, have not been picked for this series. Vandersay, however, is in the ODI squad, which will start on January 10. Dushmantha Chameera is yet to recover from the injury he sustained during the World Cup and is out of the squad. Some players who had a great outing in the recently completed Lanka Premier League have found their place in the team.
