Sony Sports took to social media platform Twitter to announce the schedule of India's tour of Sri Lanka in July.

In what promises to be a high-octane series, the Indian team will field a second-string side consisting of white-ball specialists who are not part of India’s ongoing tour of the UK, where the Virat Kohli-led side will play the World Test Championship final and five-match Test series against England.

The Indian squads for the Sri Lanka tour are likely to be announced by the end of June.

The likes of Suryakumar Yadav, Shikhar Dhawan, Ishan Kishan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Deepak Chahar among others are expected to be in the Indian squad whereas a call on Shreyas Iyer will be taken depending on his recovery from shoulder surgery.

The series will provide an opportunity for the Indian team management to get a good look at some of the fringe players in the side ahead of the T20 World Cup.

According to reports, Rahul Dravid is likely to take charge of the Indian team with Ravi Shastri and Co busy with the tour of UK.
