India To Host Sri Lanka For Full Tour In November, December

India will play three Tests, three One-Day Internationals and three T20 Internationals against Sri Lanka from November 16 to December 24. According to a report on ESPNcricinfo, Sri Lanka will begin their tour with a Test match to be played in Kolkata from November 16 before the second and third Tests in Nagpur and Delhi.

On a tour that will be six weeks long, Sri Lanka will have a warm-up game as well. After the Test series, the two teams will head to Dharamsala for the first ODI on December 10 before moving to Mohali for the second ODI on December 13. The third and final ODI of the series will be played in Vishakhapatnam on December 17.

While BCCI is yet to confirm the schedule, the report said that “ESPNcricinfoverified the schedule with most of the hosting centres.”

The T20I matches will begin from December 20 with both teams travelling to Cuttack for the first game. Indore, which hosted a ODI during Australia series, and Mumbai, which will host an ODI during New Zealand series, will host the second and third T20Is respectively. The two matches will be played on December 22 and 24.

“We were initially supposed to host Sri Lanka in December and Odisha [Cuttack] were supposed to host the New Zealand game in November,” Kerala Cricket Association secretary Jayesh George told ESPNcricinfo. “But, there is a festival in Odisha in November, so we are now hosting the New Zealand game instead.”
