Shikhar Dhawan-led India white-ball squad on Thursday had its first practice session under lights in Colombo. The official Twitter handle of BCCI shared photos from the sessions and captioned the post as: “Time to hit the nets. Our first practice session under lights begins now.” Earlier, The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) announced the revised itinerary of India’s upcoming limited-overs series against Sri Lanka.

“The tour comprising 3 ODIs and as many T20Is will now start from July 18th, 2021,” read an official statement from BCCI.

The three ODIs will now be played on July 18, 20 and 23. While the three T20Is will go ahead on July 25, 27, and 29.

The Shikhar Dhawan-led Indian side was slated to play the ODI series from Tuesday, but due to the recent COVID-19 cases in the Sri Lanka camp, the tour will start from July 18.

Earlier, three England players testing positive for COVID-19 had sent alarm bells ringing as Sri Lanka last played against the English squad.

Promoted

Sri Lanka played against England in three ODIs and three T20Is and the cricketers returned to Sri Lanka on Tuesday evening.

Sri Lanka failed to win a single match on their tour to England as they suffered a 3-0 defeat in T20Is and a 2-0 loss in the ODI series.
