The Sri Lanka cricket team led by Kumar Sangakkara left to India last night on a tour consisting of three test matches, five one day internationals and two 20/20 matches.

Family members of cricketers were present at the Cricket Board to wish them well. Before they boarded the bus religious ceremonies took place to bless and protect the team whilst on their arduous tour.
