England announce revised schedule for home series against Sri Lanka

The change has been made after a request from Sri Lanka Cricket due to the confirmation of women's cricket being a part of the Asian Games 2023.

Sri Lanka's white-ball tour of England will now begin on 31 August, with the commencement of the three-match T20I series. The three matches will be played in Hove, Chelmsford, and Derby.

This will be followed by a three-match ODI series between 9-14 September in Chester-le-Street, Northampton, and Leicester.

Hove which was originally scheduled to host an ODI will now host the T20I series opener. Canterbury, which was originally set to host an ODI will no longer host a match during the series.

The series will be key for Sri Lanka in their bid to prepare for the Asian Games in China, which will take place between 23 September and 8 October.

1st T20I - 31 August, Hove

2nd T20I - 2 September, Chelmsford

3rd T20I - 6 September, Derby

1st ODI - 9 September, Chester-le-Street
