Bhanuka Rajapaksa left out of India T20Is for fitness reasons

 Offspinner Ashian Daniel has ridden his superb List A structure into the Sri Lanka men's T20I crew for India, however there keeps on being no space for center request player Bhanuka Rajapaksa, who has again been discarded because of slacking wellness principles.

Daniel is the main new expansion to the crew that has recently enveloped up a T20I series by Australia, losing 4-1. Three players got wounds during that series, in any case, and will have no influence in the India series. Hitter Avishka Fernando could be out for a considerable length of time in the wake of supporting a knee injury that is probably going to require a medical procedure; allrounder Ramesh Mendis broke his thumb while batting in the nets; and round-arm seamer Nuwan Thushara got a side strain in a spell. Kusal Perera, who had not gone to Australia either, keeps on being inaccessible through injury.

Past this, there are no new exclusions based on structure. Danushka Gunathilaka and Dinesh Chandimal, who were both dropped from the XI as the Australia series wore on, hold their places in the crew. Players Kamil Mishara and Janith Liyanage, who appeared on Sunday, keep their spots also.

In the interim, Wanindu Hasaranga and Binura Fernando, who had both tried positive for Covid-19, will be accessible for this series, having served their seven days' disconnection.

Rajapaksa's avoidance, however, keeps on being disputable, especially considering Sri Lanka's four misfortunes in Australia. Despite the fact that Rajapaksa's weight and wellness had for some time been concerns, his exhibitions in the center request had to a great extent been great, regardless of whether his handling was in some cases poor. In Australia, it had been Sri Lanka's hitters - and the center request specifically - that had been their significant shortcoming.

In January, Rajapaksa, 30, had resigned from worldwide cricket, then, at that point, switched his choice later evidently being persuaded to remain by Sri Lanka's games serve. His proceeded with rejection, however, recommends Sri Lanka's selectors are determined to authorizing the severe wellness principles presented throughout the course of recent years.

Sri Lanka play three T20Is against India, the first is set to occur in Lucknow on Thursday.

Sri Lanka crew: Dasun Shanaka (capt), Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis, Charith Asalanka, Dinesh Chandimal, Danushka Gunathilaka, Kamil Mishara, Janith Liyanage, Wanindu Hasaranga, Chamika Karunaratne, Dushmantha Chameera, Lahiru Kumara, Binura Fernando, Shiran Fernando, Maheesh Theekshana, Jeffrey Vandersay, Praveen Jayawickrama, Ashian Daniel
