Sri Lanka's cricket team faces significant setbacks ahead of their T20I series against India, with star pacer Binura Fernando ruled out due to a chest infection, joining Dushmantha Chameera and Nuwan Thushara, who are sidelined by illness and injury respectively. As a result, Sri Lanka will rely heavily on their spinners for the upcoming matches, having named replacements including Asitha Fernando and Dilshan Madushanka. On the Indian side, Suryakumar Yadav steps in as captain for the first time, leading a revamped squad that includes several changes from their recent Zimbabwe tour. India aims to capitalize on their depth in all-rounders while experimenting with new faces in the pace attack due to injuries to key players like Jasprit Bumrah. Both teams are navigating through transitions, with Sri Lanka recently appointing Sanath Jayasuriya as interim coach following a disappointing T20 World Cup exit. The series starts on July 27, marking a fresh chapter for both sides under new leaderships.
