The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has canceled their scheduled tour to Sri Lanka due to the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic.
India was scheduled to travel to Sri Lanka later this month to play a three-match ODI series and as many T20 Internationals during their stay in the island nation.
It is the latest of a number of affected series, with no international cricket having been played since 13 March. The sides were due to play each other in three ODIs and three T20Is, and there is currently no confirmed rescheduled date for the tour.
Bangladesh is also scheduled to travel to the island nation to play a three-match Test series as part of the ICC World Test Championship may also likely to follow the Indian footstep.
International cricket is set to resume on July 8, when England and West Indies begin their three-match Test series in the United Kingdom (UK).
Sri Lanka visited India for three T20Is at the beginning of this year but had a disappointing series, with the hosts winning the second and third matches comfortably - by 78 runs and 7 wickets respectively - after the first match was abandoned due to rain.
