Colombo’s R. Premadasa Stadium will host all of the matches in India’s upcoming restricted overs series towards Sri Lanka. Indian cricket board president Sourav Ganguly earlier stated that India are set to journey to Sri Lanka in July for taking part in three ODIs and as many T20Is.
“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, informed Sportstar on Monday.
“With the Covid situation fluid, we cannot allow fans yet, so all the matches will be closed-door affairs,” De Silva stated.
India are reportedly set to arrive in Sri Lanka for the series on July 5 and, after the crew completes its week-lengthy quarantine, will play the ODI series beginning on July 13. The T20I series will start on July 22.
“As of now, we’ll stick to the protocol the place the gamers could have to bear exhausting quarantine for the primary three days and in the following 4 days, they may be allowed to practice.
However, if there are any revised pointers by the well being ministry round that point, we could have to comply with that,” he added.
