This may seem like an overload of cricket with Sri Lanka. But India are scheduled to play their neighbours - Sri Lanka and Bangladesh - in the latter's backyard, without Sachin Tendulkar.

Tendulkar has been rested after he put in a request himself to prepare himself for the Test series to follow. His absence though has given Rohit Sharma another chance to make a case for himself. But there are no immediate chances for the likes of Ishant Sharma, Praveen Kumar and Pragyan Ojha.
The Indian team squad for the tri series against Sri Lanka and Bangladesh:
Mahendra Singh Dhoni (captain), Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina, Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja, Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan, Ashish Nehra, Yuvraj Singh, Sudeep Tyagi, Dinesh Karthik, Shanthakumaran Sreesanth, Ashok Dinda, Amit Mishra.
