Lanka tour itinerary finalised

The venues for India's three Test matches against Sri Lanka have been finalised, with Galle, Kandy and Colombo hosting a match each.

The Indians, who tour Sri Lanka from July 15 to September 3, will also play a triangular one-day series involving the hosts and New Zealand.

The Test matches will follow the tri-series, with a three- day game against the Sri Lanka Cricket Board XI, at Matara, sandwiched in between.

The Sri Lankan tour will follow India's tour to Zimbabwe, from May 28 to July 7.

The first Test is from August 14 to 18, at Galle, the second from August 22 to 26, at Kandy, while the third will be from August 29 to September 2, at Colombo.

The team returns to India on September 3.
