India Tour of Sri Lanka Dates Announced; To Play 3 ODIs & 3 T20Is In July
The series will include three ODIs followed by three T20Is.
In a recent interaction, BCCI chief Sourav Ganguly confirmed India’s limited-overs tour of Sri Lanka in July. While Virat Kohli-led India will next be seen in the ICC World Test Championship final, versus New Zealand, in June and will stay put in the United Kingdom for the five Tests versus England, the white-ball regulars will take part in the tour of the island nation.
“We have planned a white ball series for the senior men’s team during the month of July where they will play T20 Internationals and ODIs in Sri Lanka,” Ganguly told PTI.
He added, “Yes, it will be a team of white-ball specialists. It will be a different team.” With Rohit Sharma also being an integral part of the Test line-up since late 2019, the Men in Blue are set to have a new captain ahead of their limited-overs tour of Sri Lanka
