REUTERS/Francis MascarenhasNEW DELHI: India's cricket board will wait for more clarity on international travel restrictions before making a call on the limited-overs tour of Sri Lanka in July, a top board official told Reuters.
Virat Kohli's team are scheduled to play three one-dayers and the same number of Twenty20 Internationals in Sri Lanka but the series is under threat due to measures imposed to battle the COVID-19 pandemic."Nothing has been decided as yet, because we are not sure what would be the travel restrictions then," BCCI treasurer Arun Singh Dhumal told Reuters by telephone.
"We have to be mindful of the players' readiness ... we have to figure out other details about this tour." Sri Lanka have already had to postpone home series against England and South Africa because of the global health crisis.
