Cricket: SLC refutes claims about Indian team
Sri Lanka Cricket refuted certain claims in doubt in social and mainstream media about the Indian cricket team that is currently in Sri Lanka to play three each of T20Is and ODIs.
"We wish to announce that despite claims by various parties as reported in the media, the national white-ball team of India currently touring Sri Lanka is a strong squad. Out of the 20-member India squad, 14 have represented India across all formats or in some form (Test, ODI, or T20I), and not a 'second string' team as claimed," SLC stated.
"It also should be mentioned that this tour is taking place, whilst the national Test team of India is touring England to play a five-match series vs England."
"This is the latest norm in the cricketing world, especially the full ICC Member countries, as they maintain specialist squads and players for each format of the game."
"The aim of such arrangements is to be competitive in each format of the game by maintaining specialist players and squads."
"Apart from it, maintaining separate squads enable cricketing boards to fulfill their international commitments unhindered, such as the ICC Future Tours Programme."
