The India white-ball team led by Shikhar Dhawan, comprising as many as six uncapped players, arrived here from Mumbai for its four-week tour which will feature six limited overs games against Sri Lanka, starting July 13.

The Dhawan-led team will play three ODIs and as many T20 Internationals in the Island nation. With regular skipper Virat Kohli and the red ball side currently touring England, Dhawan will have pace bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar as his deputy.
The BCCI had named a 20-member squad for the Sri Lanka tour, which has all-rounder Hardik Pandya as well as the spin duo of Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal from the senior lot. Young guns like Devdutt Padikkal, Prithvi Shaw, Nitish Rana, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Chetan Sakariya expectedly feature in the side that also has two wicket-keeper batsmen in Ishan Kishan and Sanju Samson.
