India will play their opening game of the three-match ODI against Sri Lanka on Tuesday in Guwahati. The ODIs will be held in Guwahati, Kolkata and Trivandrum on January 10, 12 and 15 respectively.

Guwahati: India skipper Rohit Sharma missed the recently concluded T20I series against Sri Lanka as Hardik Pandya was named skipper of the Men in Blue side for cricketโ€™s shortest format.

The ODI series against Sri Lanka will see the return of captain Rohit Sharma, who has been out of action after sustaining a finger injury during the second ODI against Bangladesh. Hardik being captain of Indiaโ€™s T20I side for Sri Lanka sparked speculation that Rohit would only lead in ODIs and Tests in what appeared to be a transforming period for India.

However, came out to clear the air over his T20I future ahead of the ODI series and said that he has โ€œnot decided to give upโ€ in the format.

โ€œFirstly, it is not possible to play back-to-back matches. You need to give them (all format players) enough break. I definitely fall in that as well. We have three T20Is against New Zealand. We will see what happens after IPL. I have not decided to give up the format,โ€ Rohit Sharma said in a pre-match press conference on Monday.
