The full schedule of the Sri Lanka tour of England has been announced. England will tour Sri Lanka in March next year, where they will play a two-match Test series. The first match will be played at R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo and the second match in Gaul.
Earlier in April, many questions were raised about security in Sri Lanka after the bombings on the occasion of Easter. However, after that, New Zealand visited Sri Lanka in August and the series concluded in a very peaceful manner.
Former Sri Lankan cricket team captain Kumar Sangakkara said that things have improved a lot now. He said that Sri Lanka is completely safe and public life is normal here. We want people from all over the world to come here.
The England team is visiting here in March 2020 and it is a very good thing for us. A large number of spectators from England come to watch the Test matches and they enjoy a lot in Sri Lanka.
Let us know that the tour will start with a 3-day warm-up match. After this, a match of 4 days will be played. Then the Test series will begin. Both these matches will be played under the ICC Test Championship and whichever team wins the series 2-0 will get the full 120 points.
Last year, when England toured Sri Lanka in 2018, they suffered an unexpected 3-0 defeat.
Full schedule of Sri Lanka tour of England:
- 1st Test: 19-23 March, First Test, Gaul International Stadium, Gaul
- 2nd Test: 27-31 March, Second Test, R Premadasa Stadium, Colombo
