India and Sri Lanka are set to battle against each other in a forthcoming ODI and T20I series. The IND vs SL T20I series will see three matches. IND vs SL ODI series will also witness three matches. The series will take place next month in January 2023.

IND vs SL: 3 Indian Players Who Can Retire From ODIs If Not Picked For The Series

1. Shikhar Dhawan

Shikhar Dhawan is the first player on this list. Dhawan is a regular member of the team in ODIs. He had a poor performance in the recent ODI series against Bangladesh. If selectors do not pick him in the ODI series against Sri Lanka, his ODI career might be in danger.

If the left-handed batter is snubbed for the IND vs SL ODI series, he will lose his spot in the ODI team. Hence, he might seek to retire from ODIs as it is the only format in which he plays for the Indian team.

2. Washington Sundar

Washington Sundar is another player on this list. Sundar is a spin all-rounder. He was part of the team in the ODI series against New Zealand. However, he is not a regular member of the ODI team. If Sundar is left-out of the IND vs SL ODI squad, he might consider retiring from the ODI format and focus only on Tests and T20Is.

Axar Patel is another player on this list. When Patel slammed a match-winning knock of unbeaten 64 runs in an ODI against West Indies last year, he looked like a promising all-rounder in ODIs.

However, he failed to repeat such performances again. If Axar Patel is left-out in the IND vs SL ODI series, he might look to retire from ODIs and concentrate more on T20Is and Tests, where he gets regular opportunities to play.
