Team India’ first assignment in 2020 will be a 3-match T20I series against Sri Lanka in India. The selectors have named a 15-member squad for the T20s in which Rohit Sharma has been given a break and Jasprit Bumrah has been included in the squad.  Bumrah who was breaking the stumps in the net sessions has been asked to do the same in the matches as well.

The major thing that caught the fan’s eyes was the inclusion of the 34-year old Kedar Jadhav. Kedar had an underwhelming series against West Indies in the recently concluded West Indies series.

Fans on Twitter expressed their unhappiness over the selection of Kedar.
