Riyan Parag got a maiden call-up to the Indian cricket team for the ODI series after being included in the side for the white-ball 2024 tour of Sri Lanka starting on July 27.

The selection committee of the Board of Control for Cricket in India announced separate 15-member squads for the three ODIs and T20Is on Thursday with Parag finding a place in both.

Meanwhile, Sanju Samson and Yashasvi Jaiswal found a place in the Indian cricket team for the T20Is.

Parag, who plays for Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League, was also part of the Indian cricket team that played five T20Is against Zimbabwe earlier this month. He became the first male cricketer from Assam to make his debut for India in the first T20I.

Parag had a breakthrough IPL season in 2024 top-scoring for the Royals, and third overall, with 573 runs from 14 innings at an impressive average of 52.09 and a strike rate of 149.21.

Before IPL 2024, he led Assam to the semi-finals of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2023, the premier domestic T20 tournament in the country. He was the top-scorer in the tournament with 510 runs from 10 matches at an unbelievable average of 85.00 and a strike rate of 182.79.

Samson and Jaiswal were also part of the Indian T20I team, along with Parag, in Zimbabwe.

Samson scored a fifty in the last T20I match to guide the team to a series win whereas Jaiswal was the second-highest run-getter in the series with 141 runs from just three matches at an average of 70.50 and a sensational strike rate of 165.88.

India’s tour of Sri Lanka starts off with the T20I leg on July 27 with the second and third match being scheduled on July 28 and July 30, respectively. All T20I matches will be held at Pallekele before the action shifts to Colombo for the ODIs starting on August 2.
