India-A is all set to participate in the ODI tri-series in Sri Lanka starting from June 9; BCCI had announced the squad for this tournament much earlier. Tilak Verma was handed the captaincy for the tri-series, while Ryan Parag was appointed as the vice-captain. However, the BCCI has now announced a major change in the squad: Ryan Parag has been ruled out of the ODI tri-series due to a hamstring injury. As a result, Rituraj Gaikwad has been included in the team in his place and he has also been announced as the new vice-captain of the team.
While announcing the change to the India-A squad, the BCCI also clarified that Rian Parag will remain at the ‘Centre of Excellence’ in Bangalore until he fully recovers from his hamstring injury; He will undergo rehabilitation treatment there. It is important to mention that Ryan Parag was captaining the Rajasthan Royals team in the 2026 IPL season; Under his leadership, the team’s journey ended with a defeat in ‘Qualifier 2’. Ryan Parag struggled with a hamstring injury throughout the season, which forced him to miss several games; Yashasvi Jaiswal came forward and took over the captaincy during that time.
