“We arrived here [in Colombo] and we haven’t been allowed to enter our rooms without the result of a rapid antigen test, which luckily, I think most of our squad have got through. We’ve done another PCR where the results come out tomorrow (Wednesday). At the end of that ODI there was a fair amount of banter between the two teams – quite a lot of chat and quite a lot of talk – so it did bring about some anxious times,” Sri Lanka coach Mickey Arthur told ESPNcricinfo.

“The players will undergo an appropriate quarantine period allocated by the Ministry of Health and frequent PCR tests before they begin training (for the India series),” one of the team doctors told Daily Mirror Sri Lanka.

IND vs SL Start Date

India will play 3 ODIs and 3 T20I matches against Sri Lanka starting from 13 July-25 July. All the six limited-overs games during the upcoming Lanka tour will take place at the R.Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.
