New Delhi, May 20, 2021, Thursday

The calendar of the Indian cricket team will also be busy between Corona. Team India will play the final of the World Test Championship against New Zealand in England in June and then the Test series against England will start in July.

Meanwhile, the team is also scheduled to tour Sri Lanka in July. If the series against Sri Lanka is not postponed due to Koro's transition, the Indian team and its coach will also be on a tour of Sri Lanka. According to reports, Rahul Dravid, a former Test cricketer from India and known as The Wall, will be the coach of the team that will travel to Sri Lanka.

Because Ravi Shastri will be working as the coach of the team playing in England at that time. The captain of Team India, who will be touring Sri Lanka, will also be different. This responsibility can be handed over to Shikhar Dhawan. The news agency quoted a cricket board official as saying that the team that will travel to Sri Lanka will have young cricketers. There can be no better alternative than Dravid as the coach of this team. Because Dravid has worked with all the cricketers as the coach of the Indian team. Dravid also has a very good rapport with the young players.

Dravid is also currently the head of the National Cricket Academy. India, who are touring Sri Lanka, will play three ODIs and three T20I matches. All these matches will be played in Colombo considering Corona's condition. The ODI series will start from July 13.
