But this time, the squad for the upcoming two-match Test series in Sri Lanka was announced on July 28, almost three weeks before the opening Test on August 15. Ahead of the Test series, Irfan Pathan slams Indian selectors over Auqib Nabi's repeated snub.
After embarrassing Test series losses to New Zealand and South Africa at home, Gill had said the players need enough time to get ready for red-ball cricket instead of moving directly from the IPL or white-ball matches into Test cricket.
Hanuma Vihari said on his YouTube channel, "The BCCI announced the Test squad very early. Not often do we see this, as usually a Test series is right after the IPL or an ODI or T20I series. I think the BCCI is obliged to Shubman Gill's input, and keeping that in mind, they have announced the squad early. India will also play a practice match before the series, and you don't see that often."
Hanuma Vihari issues big WTC warning to Team India
He further added, "This series is important for India, as if they win both the games, they will have a chance to advance in the WTC table. If you win both games in a two-match series, the chances of the percentage increasing become higher. This series, then the series against New Zealand and Australia, will determine whether India qualifies for the final or not."
Hanuma Vihari warns India against taking Sri Lanka lightly
He signed off by saying, “Sri Lanka is a dangerous side at home as there are slow turners there. The Indian batters do not play the sweep shot a lot. They will have to practice doing that. In international cricket, only proper practice will help make things easier during matches.”
Notably, India will play the first Test in Galle from August 15, while the second Test will begin in Colombo on August 23. It will also be India's first Test tour of Sri Lanka since 2017.
