Ahead of their England tour next month, two Sri Lanka cricketers, who are part of a provisional 28-man squad, have tested positive for the coronavirus. Fast bowling allrounders Dhananjaya Lakshan and Ishan Jayaratne tested positive on Saturday and have been put into quarantine for 14 days.

According to a report in Daily FT, 40 Sri Lankan cricketers were given their first dose of vaccine against coronavirus on Saturday at the National Blood Bank after an antigen test.

The T20I series gets underway from June 23 with the first two matches to be played in Cardiff before the series finale in Southampton. The ODIs will be played in Chester-le-Street, London and Bristol.

Meanwhile, BCCI president Sourav Ganguly, in an interview to Sportstar, has indicated that an Indian team could tour Sri Lanka for white-ball matches. While responding to a query about whether the remainder of IPL 2021 could be staged in India, Ganguly replied in negative and said, “India is supposed to go to Sri Lanka for three ODIs and five T20Is. There are lots of organisational hazards like 14-day quarantine.”

He, however, hasn’t mentioned when exactly the tour is supposed to happen.
