MUMBAI, April 3: India’s cricket board have postponed a visit by Sri Lanka for a one-day series this month, officials said on Sunday. “There is uncertainty in the Sri Lankan board and till today we have not received any confirmation of the trip,” Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) joint secretary Goutam Das Gupta said. Sri Lanka, currently in New Zealand for a Test series, had been scheduled to arrive in India on April 19 for a five-match series.
Sri Lankan cricket is in turmoil after the government dissolved its board last month and appointed an interim administration, saying there had been complaints of financial mismanagement.
The BCCI decided to postpone the Indian tour at a meeting here where officials had hoped to finalise the venues for the series.
“We thought it would be proper to reschedule the series to a later date, probably around September-October when there is a break in our schedule,” Gupta said.—Reuters
