However, Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) wanted the Board of Control for Cricket in India to add three T20I matches to the tour, but India's packed calendar has ended all hopes of an extended tour. Virat Kohli to make debut in Tennis? Novak Djokovic reveals future plans.
As reported by Sportstar, India and Sri Lanka will now play only the originally planned two-match Test series in August. The proposed T20I matches were expected to help SLC raise funds for relief and reconstruction work after Cyclone Ditwah.
Packed schedule and workload behind BCCI's decision
There was a gap of nearly two weeks before India's next international assignment after the England tour, but the Indian cricket board felt that fitting in three more international matches would not be practical. The Indian team already has a packed calendar, and then player workload forced the BCCI to turn down the proposal.
With this decision, SLC will miss out on the financial boost that the extra T20Is could have provided. Well, India's tour will remain unchanged; the tour will continue as originally planned with only two red-ball matches. The first test between the two teams will get underway on August 15. India's last visit to Sri Lanka came in 2024 for a white-ball series.

The defeat was a historic one for Ireland, as they registered their first-ever win over the reigning T20 world champions in any format. The victory also gave the hosts a 1-0 lead in the two-match series and left the Indian camp with plenty of questions to answer. The second and final T20I is scheduled for Sunday, June 28, in Belfast.
