By now you must know that Sachin Tendulkar along with a few others will leave early for South Africa, thereby missing out on the one-dayers against New Zealand, and with that, any pre-World Cup ODIs on Indian soil. That’s how it looks now. The BCCI, however, has moved swiftly on this – they have ensured that Sachin along with a few others will leave early for India, immediately after the test matches, thereby missing out on the one-dayers against South Africa. The wheels are in motion to set up a minimum 6 match one-day series against Sri Lanka. Dhoni will return as captain, along with what is being talked about as the starting XI for the World Cup. In Dhoni’s absence, Che Pujara will lead an Emerging India XI against South Africa in the one-dayers.
Appears India will play Sri Lanka at Mirpur, Kolkata, Bangalore, Delhi, Nagpur and Chennai. Except for Mirpur, which is in Bangladesh, there’s nothing odd about the venues – except that India will play all their World Cup Group matches at these venues.
If Sri Lanka pushes hard for a few one-dayers at Colombo and Hambanthota, the venues for their World Cup games, it’s possible, Che Pujara will lead an Emerging India XI in the Emerald Isle.
