Sourav Ganguly: India to tour Sri Lanka in July for limited overs series

Asked how will India segregate the two teams, Ganguly said that it will be a different side, which won't have anyone from the outfit that will be in the United Kingdom at that time.

"Technically, in the month of July there are no official senior India team matches. The Test squad will be playing intra squad games. "So there is no harm in India's white ball experts getting some match time and selectors also get to fix the missing jigsaws in selection puzzle." This will give the team a chance to carry out experiments, like whether it will be Chahal, Rahul Chahar or Rahul Tewatia for the leg break bowler's slot, if Chetan Sakariya can be tried as left-arm option, whether Devdutt Padikkal or Shreyas Iyer gets fit to play by then. Not to forget that Prithvi Shaw's international career could get a boost with this white ball tournament, with Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan also getting a chance to stake their claims.
