BCCI appoints four domestic players as net bowlers for Sri Lanka tour

The BCCI disclosed a fresh update on Wednesday, naming Harsh Dubey, Shivang Kumar, Tanush Kotian and Vipraj Niyogi as net bowlers for the Sri Lanka series. The quartet will assist the Indian batting unit during the three‑day practice window at the Non‑Descript Cricket Club (NCC) in Colombo. While their chances of making the match‑day XI remain slim, the opportunity is seen as a stepping stone for their careers, offering direct exposure to the national team environment. The first Test is scheduled for August 15, followed by a second encounter at Singhalese Sports Club later in the month.
