India to tour Sri Lanka next year for six-match white-ball series

NEW DELHI: The Indian team will make its yearly ritual tour of the islands in the middle of 2024 for a brief six-match white-ball series, giving the Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) and its host broadcaster cause for celebration, the board announced on Wednesday.

Crisis-ridden Sri Lanka Cricket

The ICC has also moved the U-19 World Cup to South Africa and blacklisted SLC for government meddling. Nonetheless, the national teams-both male and female-will be permitted to complete their bilateral obligations.

Busy season ahead for India

India is scheduled to visit for three ODI and T20I matches each in July and August, which is essentially the country's cricket season, according to the 2024 calendar that SLC issued.

The 52 international matches that the Indian men's national team is scheduled to play in 2024 consist of 10 Tests, 21 ODIs, and 21 T20Is. The extra games they will play at the T20 World Cup are not taken into account by the T20Is.

Tough away tours for India

The three-match away series in England, which is a part of the ongoing World Test Championship, will be one of the main assignments. The two-Test series in November against South Africa will be the other difficult task.
