The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the Sri Lanka's tour of India later next month. There will be 3 tests, 3 ODIs and 3 T-20 in this tour. The first test will be played in Kolkata from Nov 16 to Nov 20.
Sri Lanka will also play a three-day warm-up match before the first Test. While the three Tests will be played in Kolkata, Nagpur and Delhi, the One-Day International series will begin on December 10 in Dharamsala, moving to Mohali (December 13) to finish in Vizag on December 17.
