The series between Sri Lanka and the Zimbabwe National Men’s, comprising three ODIs and three T-20s, will commence on January 6.
The three-match ODI series will be held from January 6 to January 11 at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium.
The action then shifts to the Rangiri Dambulla International Cricket Stadium, where the T20 series, is scheduled to be played from January 14 to 18. All matches, both ODIs and T20Is, are set to be day/night encounters.
Despite ICC’s suspension of Sri Lanka cricket, the greenlight has been given for the bilateral matches to proceed unabated from the Zimbabwe series.
SLC disallowed the national team’s fast bowlers to participate in franchise cricket tournaments to prioritize national duties. This decision stems from concerns over injuries, with Matheesha Pathirana and Lahiru Kumara both getting injured during the World Cup, and Dushmantha Chameera and Dilshan Madushanka joining the World Cup after recovering from their injuries.
The Afghanistan cricket team is expected to arrive to play a T20 series and a test match, followed by the Sri Lanka-Bangladesh cricket series in Bangladesh
