ICC rules,  according to Sri Lanka Cricket's media manager Brian Thomas, only allow  teams to practice but not play international matches at World Cup venues  just prior to the tournament.   "The World Cup venues for matches have been officially handed over to  the ICC this month and ICC rules allow us to practice but not play until  the World Cup starts," Thomas told AFP. The three ODIs will all  be day games, though Hambantota and the renovated Premadasa Stadium in  Colombo were earlier scheduled to host day-night matches during the  series.    The ODIs were postponed to the end of January after rain had marred West Indies' Test series in Sri Lanka last year.    January 31: First ODI, SSCFeb 3: Second ODI, SSCFeb 6: Third ODI, SSC    Sri Lankan team will have the backing  of the crowd, no real home advantage for them as far as the grounds are  concerned since all three venues and the surfaces esp are unknown  quantities...   <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/growl.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":growl:" title="Growl    :growl:" data-shortname=":growl:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/growl.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":growl:" title="Growl    :growl:" data-shortname=":growl:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/growl.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":growl:" title="Growl    :growl:" data-shortname=":growl:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/growl.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":growl:" title="Growl    :growl:" data-shortname=":growl:" /></blockquote>
