[caption id="attachment_118773" align="alignleft" width="432"] Sri Lanka were to play two Tests and six limited-over games in the West Indies in March[/caption] Sri Lanka’s tour of West Indies, which now looks an almost nonstarter, could be held as only a limited-over series, The Morning Sports learnt yesterday (9). “Discussions are underway now between the two Boards (Sri Lanka Cricket and West Indies Cricket). But we have not come to final decision yet,” said a senior Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) official. It is understood that the new arrangement could be a possibility if all members of the current Sri Lanka squad are to test negative for Covid-19 in the next round of PCR Tests, which are to be done on them probably today, Wednesday. Sri Lanka were to tour West Indies on 18 February for a series which was to be included two Tests, three ODIs, and three T20Is. They were scheduled to be held through the month of March, reportedly on two separate venues or two Caribbean islands. On 3 February, though, two members of the Sri Lanka squad, their opening batsman Lahiru Thirimanne and Head Coach Mickey Arthur, tested positive for Covid-19 prompting SLC to postpone the tour. Local media quoted SLC President Shammi Silva as saying that the tour was postponed on 5 February. After the said two tour party members were tested positive in an initial PCR Test done on the 35-member of the Sri Lanka squad, all the squad members were sent for isolation abandoning the scheduled pre tour practices. The new arrangement for a curtailed limited-over series could be worked out only if all players are to be tested negative anyway, the above SLC official further added.
