Sri Lanka to Play Five ODIs in India

Dharamshala: The West Indies' surprise decision to withdraw from the ongoing tour of India has forced the BCCI to scramble together a hurried replacement series, with Sri Lanka Cricket accepting the board's invitation to play five ODIs between November 1 and 15.

"Sri Lanka Cricket has confirmed a five-match ODI series between India and Sri Lanka, to be played from 1 November 2014," read a BCCI statement on Friday.

"The series promises to be an exciting one, with Sri Lanka placed 4th in the world rankings in ODIs. India is ranked 3rd, with only 2 points separating the teams. The BCCI wishes to thank SLC for its swift response and for extending its support to ensure that the international cricket season is not curtailed."

Sri Lanka last toured India in 2009, for a series comprising three Tests, two T20Is and three Tests.
