“There had to be a change and have to admit there were a few wrong decisions in selection. We needed a fresh start. Some of their tenures were ending and we had to start fresh with a new approach and new mindset. We did not get the results we wanted and after Jay and Ashish came back from Melbourne, we decided, it would be best to have a completely new panel,”– a BCCI official said

India’s all-rounder Hardik Pandya will be announced as India’s new skipper of the T20I prior to the Sri Lanka series. Rohit Sharma to lead the ODI and Test teams.
