The Sri Lanka-India Test series will be played in the second half of August. The exact dates for the two Tests have not yet been finalised, but Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) has identified a two-week window for the matches, which are part of the current ICC World Test Championship (WTC) cycle.

Sources within Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) and Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) have revealed that the matches will be played between 15 to 27 August. 

There is, however, no confirmation yet on the three Twenty20 Internationals that were supposed to be added to the tour.

The two Tests follow the Lanka Premier League (LPL), which concludes on 9 August and the information about the identified window has been shared with all the stakeholders involved with the series, including the Indian team.

BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia has travelled to Sri Lanka as part of an International Cricket Council (ICC) delegation to assess the situation in Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC), which was recently dissolved by the Government of President Anura Kumara Dissanayake. 

The Government has since appointed an interim body, the Sri Lanka Cricket Transformation Committee.
