Sri Lanka on Tuesday postponed the second Twenty20 international against India just hours before its start, after an Indian player tested positive for coronavirus. India arrived in Sri Lanka on June 28 and have been in a strict bio-bubble in a luxury Colombo hotel since then. The series had already been pushed back by five days after an outbreak of Covid-19 in the Sri Lankan camp. Sri Lanka's batting coach Grant Flower and a member of support staff tested positive this month, forcing a longer isolation period for Sri Lankan players. Sri Lanka eased some lockdown restrictions this month despite warnings that the more transmissible Delta variant was spreading on the island.
