Lucknow will host the first T20I now and Dharamsala the next two. The two Tests will be played in Mohali and Bengaluru.
The tour begins with the first T20I in Lucknow on February 24, with the other two being back-to-back matches in Dharamsala on February 26 and 27.
This will be followed by the first Test in Mohali from March 4, before the tour concludes with a day-night Test in Bengaluru starting March 12. Both Tests will be a part of the second cycle of the World Test Championship.
Ravindra Jadeja and Sanju Samson have returned to India's squad for the upcoming three-match T20I series against Sri Lanka, which begins in Lucknow on February 24.
Both Jadeja and Samson have recovered sufficiently from injuries while Shardul Thakur has been rested for both the T20I and Test series. Jasprit Bumrah, who had been rested for the white-ball series at home against West Indies, also returned to the squad, as vice-captain. He will lead a seam attack comprising Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Deepak Chahar, Mohammed Siraj and the uncapped Avesh Khan.
Sri Lanka is again participating in this series with the interim coaching staff. Romesh Rathnayake will be leading and he will have not much evidence of happy coaching in the previous era as well.
Banuka Rajapakse has been dropped due to fitness issues again and it will be a big gap to the team.
The results of this series will be similar to the Australian tour and will be a miracle if they pull out any single victory.
Lets hope for the best and have a good trip.
