After completing the Quarantine, the visiting team will play a three-match ODI series from July 13 and then a three-match T20 series from July 22.
Chairman of the Administrative Committee of Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC), Arjun De Silva said, “Of course it also depends on how the conditions are at that time. Due to Corona, we cannot allow the fans to enter the stadium, so all the matches will be played without an audience. . “
