As reported by Cricbuzz earlier, India are set to play a two-match Test series in Sri Lanka starting August 15. The series will be a part of the ongoing World Test Championship (WTC) cycle. India and Sri Lanka are placed fifth and sixth respectively on the WTC table.
The first Test will be played at Galle between August 15-19 while the second Test will be at the Sinhalese Sports Club (SSC) in Colombo between August 23-27. This will be India's first Test series in the island nation since 2017.
The two boards had previously discussed the possibility of adding three T20Is to the tour, but Sri Lanka Cricket's (SLC) media release makes no mention of those matches.
