Team India for Sri lanka tour to be selected today
Mumbai: Selectors of Indian Cricket team will met on Wednesday to choose the side for the upcoming tour of Sri lanka. Virender Sehwag and Zaheer Khan have strong chances for this tour. .
The squad for the Lanka tour — comprising only One-Day Internationals and Twenty20 ties — is set to see some changes from the side which flopped in the Asia Cup and lost the rain-hit T20 match to the hosts in Johannesburg by D/L method.
With Sehwag back in action, one of the other middle order batsmen from the Asia Cup squad will have to be sacrificed and Bengal`s Manoj Tiwary could be the man to make way for the former`s return.
It`s not clear whether Tendulkar, who had set the fabulous record of 100 international hundreds in the previous 50-over competition that India took part in, is available for the Lanka tour following his nomination as a Rajya Sabha member.
Accoding to selection committee sources, things would become clear just before the five-member team sits down to choose the touring squad when the Cricket Board`s convener Sanjay Jagdale apprises them about the availability and fitness concerns, if any, of players in contention.
If by any chance Tendulkar decides to opt out of what is widely perceived to be a low-key series commencing on July 21, Ajinkya Rahane is the man most likely to be named as the third opener after Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir.
