The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has received a request from the Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) to commence the Sri Lanka tour of India 2022 with a T20 International series instead of Test series.
The Sri Lanka tour of India 2022 is scheduled to begin from February 25 to March 18 and it consists of a three-match T20 International series and a two-match Test series.

“Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) has requested BCCI to play the T20I series first instead of the Test matches. The Sri Lankan team will be playing a T20I series against Australia before coming to India. It will be convenient for them to send a team which will be already in a bubble,” a top official told TOI.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India will get more time to decide the venues for the Test series if they accept the request of SLC, given the Covid-19 situation in the country. Currently, the two-match Test series is set to be played in Bengaluru and Mohali and the three-match T20I series is set to be played in Mohali, Dharamshala and Lucknow.
Recently, the venue changes were made in the West Indies tour of India 2022 and the entire 6-match limited-overs series will now be played in Ahmedabad and Kolkata.
“BCCI wants to distribute international games to as many state associations. But the Covid-19 wave has made it difficult to do so. Confining a series to a certain region is convenient,” the official said.
