India's White Ball Series Needed To Lift Sri Lanka Out Of Mess: BCCI

By IANS News May 18, 2021 • 17:09 PM View: 1504

India's limited-overs tour of Sri Lanka is necessary to ensure that Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) makes up for the loss of revenue caused by last year's canceled tour of the island nation, the Indian cricket board treasurer Arun Dhumal has said.

India's tour of Sri Lanka in June last year was canceled due to the Covid-19 pandemic, which sent the entire Future Tours Programme (FTP) of the top cricketing countries haywire.
