Harsha Bhogle picks his India XI for series against Sri Lanka

The Indian team will have a tough season in the upcoming months. They will be playing the World Test Championship Final, the T20 World Cup, and the remaining IPL games as well.

It will be not easy for the Indian players as they may not get enough rest to keep them fresh. Due to the heavy fixtures, the BCCI decided to send another team for the tour of Sri Lanka. 

The BCCI picked the young guns for the limited-overs series against Sri Lanka. Meanwhile, the cricket commentator Harsha Bhogle has picked his best XI for the ODI series. 

With most of the senior players have been traveling to England for the finals of the World Test Championship, the young players have to take responsibility.

The Sri Lankan cricket team also has not been in good form in recent years as they are struggling even against the weaker teams. So, the BCCI decided to send their A team by keeping Sri Lanka's form in the mind.
