India are set to play three ODIs and as many T20Is on their tour to Sri Lanka. Broadcaster Sony made the announcement that the tour will be held between July 13 to 25.
“Indian waves will crash against the Sri Lankan shore with #JeetneKiZid,” the channel tweeted with the schedule.
The ODIs are scheduled to take place on July 13, 16 and 18 while the two teams will lock horns in the T20Is on July 21, 23 and 25.
While the Virat Kohl-led team is in the UK for the final of the inaugural World Test Championship against New Zealand and a five-match Test series against England, another Indian team will travel to Sri Lanka for the limited-overs fixtures.
SLC Administrative Committee chairman Arjuna de Silva had earlier said that the board is planning to hold the matches at one venue.
"We plan to host the entire series at one venue. As of now, it has been decided that the Premadasa Stadium will host the fixtures. Obviously, it depends on how the situation is around that time," Arjuna de Silva, Sri Lanka Cricket's (SLC) Administrative Committee chairman, told Sportstar.
"With the Covid situation fluid, we cannot allow fans yet, so all the matches will be closed-door affairs," De Silva said.
The venues for the India-Sri Lanka series haven’t been revealed yet. The Indian selectors are also yet to announce the squad which will travel to Sri Lanka.
On the other hand, Kohli’s men will be battling it out against the Blackcaps in the WTC final in Southampton scheduled to begin on June 18 while the Test series against the English team is slated to take place in August.
