Former India pacer Dodda Ganesh said Manish Pandey should have been named as the captain of India for the Sri Lanka tour as there is a possibility that Shikhar Dhawan might be called as a back-up during the long England series. On the other hand, Shikhar Dhawan will lead a young Indian side with as many as five new faces for the limited-overs series in Sri Lanka. If Dhawan is called as a back-up ahead of the England series, who will lead the team? "Manish Pandey hasn't got too many chances in the Indian team. After the England series, the next opportunity will be only on flat tracks in the UAE in the IPL.
