India's series against Sri Lanka rescheduled

Colombo: The Indian cricket team’s six-match limited-overs series against Sri Lanka was on Friday rescheduled owing to a Covid-19 outbreak in the home team camp, with the first ODI now starting on July 17 instead of July 13.

“Yes, the series will now start from 17th of July instead of 13th. The decision was taken in consultation with SLC keeping the safety and



security of players in mind,” a senior BCCI official told PTI, confirming the development.

It has been learnt that new dates are still being chalked out in consultation with the BCCI. The tentative dates could be July 17, 19 and 21 for the 50-over games, while the three-match T20I rubber is likely to start from July 24
