5 players who missed out on a spot in the ODI squad to face Sri Lanka

Rishabh Pant

He has been in India's last two T20I squads before this one

He might only be 19, but Rishabh Pant has already made his T20I debut and has made a name for himself in the domestic circuit. After a brilliant IPL and a fantastic start to his domestic career across all formats, Pant made his T20I debut against England earlier this year and although he wasn't with the side for the Champions Trophy, he took part in the T20I series against West Indies.

However, the return to fitness of both Manish Pandey and KL Rahul has meant that the selectors have decided to omit the talented teenager from the squad. With India only playing a solitary T20I in the country, he must have been disappointed to miss out on a T20I spot as well.

However, a poor showing with the A side in the tri-series in South Africa didn't help his cause but he still has age on his side and it is only a matter of time before he makes a return to the side.

The same, however, cannot be said about another player who was dropped.
