Sri Lanka will be playing three Tests, three ODIs and three T20Is over a period of 37 days on their tour to India. It will India that will be hosting the upcoming tour after 9-0 win rout in Sri Lanka. A complete annihilation by the men in blue and that's what the Lankan players will have in mind when they seek redemption and vengeance. Sri Lanka are currently facing Pakistan in a Test series.
The first Test is likely to begin in Kolkata on November 16. The other two tests will be played in Nagpur and Delhi before the limited-overs leg of the tour kicks off in Dharamsala with the first ODI to be played on December 10.
The remaining two ODIs will be played in Mohali and Visakhapatnam. The two sides will then lock horn in the three T20Is which are slated to be held in Cuttack, Indore and Mumbai.
The official tour itinerary is, however, still yet to be announced by the BCCI.
"We were initially supposed to host Sri Lanka in December and Odisha [Cuttack] were supposed to host the New Zealand game in November," Kerala Cricket Association secretary Jayesh George said.
"But, there is a festival in Odisha in November, so we are now hosting the New Zealand game instead," he added.
India would be high on confidence when they face Sri Lanka in their den, considering they defeated their Asian neighbours 9-0 across all three formats on their away tour in July-August.
