India all-rounder Hardik Pandya’s fitness concerns went against him when Ajit Agarkar’s national selection committee took a decision on who should lead India in the three-match T20I series against Sri Lanka starting on July 27 at Pallekele.
Pandya was Rohit Sharma’s deputy during India’s T20 World Cup triumph in USA and West Indies recently. However, the national selectors preferred attacking batsman Suryakumar Yadav over Pandya for the captaincy job in the shortest format. Rohit quit the T20I format of the game after the World Cup.
