Batter Bhanuka Rajapaksa has been dropped from Sri Lanka's 18-member squad for the upcoming T20I series against India. Rajapaksa, who was recently a member of the Sri Lanka squad touring Australia for five T20Is, has been left out reportedly due to fitness concerns.

From the rest of the squad which went to Australia, Avishka Fernando, Nuwan Thushara and Ramesh Mendis will not be a part of the T20Is against India due to injuries and will fly back home to Sri Lanka.
