India vs Sri Lanka Series Rescheduled Again, First ODI Likely To Be Played On July 18

IND Vs SL: There has been a change in the ODI series to be played between India and Sri Lanka. Now the first ODI between the two teams is likely to be played on July 18.

The schedule of the India and Sri Lanka series has been changed again due to Coronavirus. According to the information revealed by sources, now the ODI series between the two countries will start from July 18. Earlier on Friday, reports suggested that the series was likely to begin from July 17. But now for the second time, the schedule of the series has been changed. 

The three-match ODI series is likley to start by July 18. The match dates are to be 18, 20, 22.

The three-match ODI series between India and Sri Lanka was to begin on July 13. But after two members of the Sri Lankan cricket team tested positive for Covid the series was said to be postponed. The two members had tested positive for the Delta variant of the virus. Both of them have been moved to intermediate care units, while the Sri Lankan team has now been forced to isolate for two more days. They were originally supposed to enter the bio-bubble on Friday but now they will have to undergo a fresh set of RT-PCR tests and those results will determine whether Sri Lanka can field the players who are currently in isolation.

According to the latest inputs, a fresh positive case has been reported in the second bio bubble of the Sri Lanka squad. As there are two bio bubbles of Lankan players and both of them have reported positive cases, now selectors have been asked for a third bubble with a new set of players.

After the ODI series, a three-match T20 series is also to be played between the two teams. The T20 series will start on July 24. The second T20 match will be played on 25 July and the last match of the series on 27 July.

The Sri Lanka Cricket Board can release the changed schedule of the series by this evening or Sunday morning.
