Hardik Pandya is expected to lead the T20I side in Sri Lanka while KL Rahul could be named as the ODI skipper. Gautam Gambhir, who recently replaced Rahul Dravid as head coach, will be at the helm during the tour. The white-ball tour will kick off with the T20Is (July 26, 27, 29) at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium and the series will then move to Colombo where the one-dayers (August 1, 4, 7) will be played at the R Premadasa International Stadium.
