Sri Lanka Cricket had requested the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to play 2 charity matches. Sri Lanka Cricket wanted to play this T20 match to help the people affected by Cyclone ‘Ditwa’ in December, however, due to commercial reasons, BCCI rejected this proposal. However, the Indian team’s tour of Sri Lanka in August will remain as per the schedule. India will play a series of 2 Test and 2 T20 matches on this tour.
