Having faced Sri Lanka in 18 international matches this season (6 Tests, eight ODIs and 4 T20 Internationals) on home and away foundation, any other face-off can simplest add to the players as well as audience' fatigue due to loss of context.
Bangladesh is the 3rd staff in this collection and regardless that the sprightly bunch is understood so as to add pleasure, the collection itself isn't precisely an anticipated tournament after a fairly hard trip to South Africa.
However, for a number of kids, who will get to put on the India blues with as many as six best players being rested, would believe this a god-sent opportunity.
At this point in time, the senior nationwide staff has simplest that many specific roles however the huge supply line means that the queue has simplest gotten longer.

Enter the Rishabh Pants, Deepak Hoodas and the Mohammed Sirajs, who another way would have been cooling their heels again home and looking ahead to their respective IPL camps to start out.
For all those that are prone to get a game, there will be only one target -- to make maximum of their probabilities as some of them might no longer get too many with with regards to 16 months left for the ICC World Cup.
Even regardless that this is a T20 event, a just right efficiency will stay the nationwide selection committee interested for those restricted batting slots within the middle-order and perhaps the reserve pacers.
They have mauled Sri Lanka on lots of the events and stand-in captain Rohit Sharma can have numerous reasons to remain upbeat about taking the trophy again home.
On a private front, Rohit will be itching to get again to type after a deficient South Africa tour the place he controlled only a single hundred within the one-dayers.
In the familiar territory of Premadasa Stadium, Rohit will love to come back out all guns blazing within the company of Shikhar Dhawan.
Suresh Raina is slowly getting again into the groove at No 3. The Lankan pitches and the pace trio of Suranga Lakmal, Dushmantha Chameera and Dasun Shanaka don't seem to be expected to pose too many issues to the trendy left-hander, who was once out of the side for a yr owing to fitness and form-related problems.
The extraordinarily talented KL Rahul can have to pass over out if he isn't allowed to open by way of the staff control. With Raina again within the staff, Rahul can simplest bat at No.4, the place Manish Pandey has been staking declare for quite some time now.
In the restricted opportunities that Pandey has got, he has proved himself and this is the event the place he can get an extended run.
Dinesh Karthik is expected to bat at No.5 and don the big gloves which would go away Deepak Hooda and Rishabh Pant fighting out for specialist batsman's position at No.6.
Washington Sundar and Yuzvendra Chahal are the 2 spin bowling options on the floodlit Premadasa, the place the wicket gets slower because the evening progresses.
Shardul Thakur after an outstanding show in South Africa, is expected to percentage the brand new ball with Jaydev Unadkat.
It will be attention-grabbing to look if India opt for an additional pacer or an all-rounder. In case the staff wants an additional pacer then Mohammed Siraj will are available or else Tamil Nadu all-rounder Vijay Shankar. If the need of the hour is an additional spinner, then Axar Patel is the option to hand.
One thing will also be expected from leader coach Ravi Shastri. He will not play any person, who isn't within the staff control's greater scheme of things -- that's the World Cup.
Last time when India performed within the island nation, they pulled off a whole whitewash -- 9-0 across formats -- but this time, it is probably not that easy.
Sri Lanka have recently received a tri-nation ODI event in Bangladesh and they are going to take a lot of self belief from the truth.
The likes of Dinesh Chandimal, Upul Tharanga, Kusal Mendis, Kusal Perera are all talented however the firepower of their game has been missing for quite some time now.
The bowlers like Lakmal, Chammera, Shanka and their mystery spinner Dananjaya can have their activity minimize out against a perilous batting line-up.
However, T20 is one format the place predicting a favourite has at all times been foolhardy.
The nature of the format enables even the weakest of groups to pose a struggle and Chandimal's men won't be an exception.
