SL series not criteria for T20WC selection: Rahul Dravid

TIL Desk Sports/ Fielding two sets of teams to play different formats simultaneously will showcase India’s formidable bench strength but Rahul Dravid, who will coach the limited-overs side in Sri Lanka, would not call it the way forward yet.

While Virat Kohli and his men are in England for a five-Test series against Joe Root’s side in August-September, Shikhar Dhawan will lead a second-string India team in six limited-overs matches in Colombo next month.

“This is a unique situation in terms of quarantines and rules that have led to this situation,” Dravid, who has been put in charge for the Sri Lanka tour, said in the pre-departure media conference on Sunday.
