After Sri Lanka’s short-format tour of England in June-July, where they will play three each of ODIs and T20Is, they are to return to the country to play India later July. Previously India expressed their inability to play in the Asia Cup which Sri Lanka was to host in June this year. Sri Lanka was to host the tournament after the hosting rights of the competition were offered to Sri Lanka by the event’s original rights holders, Pakistan. India might likewise seek to send a second side to the Sri Lanka series as well. Notably, last year too, India postponed a Test series in Sri Lanka during the outbreak of the pandemic.
