Left-arm pacer Jaydev Unadkat has said that he doesn’t “repent on” the snub from Team India. Unadkat was picked up in the side that will play three ODIs and as many T20Is in Sri Lanka.
“This game has given me so much, and not for one moment, am I gonna repent on why not me, or when will my time come and what I have done wrong. I have got my chances in the past & I will still get them. It will be when it will be!,” Unadkat said.
Unadkat who is a part of the RR in IPL has played one Test, seven ODIs and 10 T20s for India and represented the national side back in 2018.

As per a PTI report, the squad will quarantine in Mumbai before flying to Sri Lanka in chartered flight or business class in commercial airways.
The report further added that the players will be under isolation for seven days before they could meet in the team.
