Sri Lanka’s tour of West Indies is slated to begin on February 20 but it may well be rescheduled after the recent developments.
Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) released an official statement on Wednesday stating that the 36-member squad, alongside the team’s support staff, had undergone COVID-19 testing.
After testing positive, both Mickey Arthur and Lahiru Thirimanne have been instructed to follow the government’s health protocols regarding COVID-19.
The provisional squad commenced training, in groups of three and on different time slots, on January 28 at Colombo. Sri Lanka are to feature in 2 Tests, 3 ODIs, and 3 T20Is in the Caribbean.
On Wednesday, Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) also announced a three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka that will be part of the World Cup Super League. The series is scheduled to be held in May.
Bangladesh will then travel to Sri Lanka for a Test series that was postponed last year due to the coronavirus pandemic. The window for the rescheduling of that series is yet to be finalized.
