Cricket: Sri Lanka’s Windies tour postponed

Sport

The intended Sri Lanka's tour of the West Indies which was to be held during February-March 2021, has been postponed after the touring team's head coach Mickey Arthur and batsman Lahiru Thirimanne were tested positive for COVID-19.

The tour, which included two Tests, three ODIs and three Twenty20 Internationals, was to begin from February 20, but Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) confirmed that the tour will be rescheduled after negotiating with the West Indies Cricket Board.

Following the confirmed COVID-19 cases of Arthur and Thirimanne, SLC has decided to send all players of the pool and support staff who trained for the West Indies tour on self quarantine.
