    India vs Sri Lanka 2023: Full schedule, squads, venues, live streaming – Check all details

    The most recent T20I match between India and Sri Lanka took place in February 2022, with India handily winning all three games. Sri Lanka then replied by defeating Rohit Sharma's team in the Super 4 of the Asia Cup T20 event in September.


    Digital Desk: The Indian men's cricket team will aim to make a fresh beginning in 2023 and keep putting up great performances regularly after a rollercoaster in 2022 in which India maintained its dominance in bilateral assignments but came up short in multination tournaments.


    The 13th ICC Men's ODI World Cup will be held in India in 2023, making it all the more important for the squad to finish all the chores and increase their chances of becoming the fourth host nation to win the ODI World Cup in a row.


    In their opening game in 2023, The Men in Blue will face Sri Lanka. The series, which will take place in the first half of January, will feature three T20 Internationals and the same number of ODIs. On January 10, 12, and 15, respectively, Guwahati, Kolkata, and Thiruvananthapuram will host the 50-over match, while Mumbai, Pune, Rajkot, and Mumbai will host the three games in the shortest format on January 3, 5, and 7.


    On Tuesday, India released the squads for the two white-ball tournaments. Before replacing Rohit Sharma as the team's vice-captain in ODIs, star all-rounder Hardik Pandya will lead the team in T20 Internationals. The T20I series roster does not include Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, or Rohit.


    When India and Sri Lanka last faced off in a T20I series in February 2022, India easily won all three games, but Sri Lanka responded by defeating Rohit Sharma's team in the Super 4 of the Asia Cup T20 tournament in September.
