Coming on the back of whitewashing West Indies 0-3 in both the three-match series ODI and T20I series, India are all in readiness of hosting Sri Lanka for a three-match T20I and a two-match Test series.
Already without multiple first-choice players in their 18-member squad, the hosts will have to do without the services of batter Suryakumar Yadav and all-rounder Deepak Chahar after they were ruled out of the series due to individual injuries this morning.

Similarly, the visitors are also almost certain of missing the services of all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga. Having returned a positive COVID-19 Test during the tour of Australia, Hasaranga has once again tested positive for the same.
Having said that, both the teams would still be keen to face each other in an ICC T20 World Cup 2022 for it will give them an apt opportunity of testing their bench strengths.
