Ireland tour of SL postponed
Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) has announced that the proposed Ireland Tour of Sri Lanka, which was expected to take place in February 2020, has been postponed due to the lack of a broadcast partner.
Under the original schedule, Ireland was scheduled play a single Test match vs Sri Lanka from 8-12 February 2020. ICC regulations require that all Tests are broadcast and the tour was not part of SLC’s original broadcast agreement, which was concluded in 2013.
Cricket Ireland have agreed to SLC’s request to reschedule the tour to a later date to ensure that the one-off Test will come under the next broadcast agreement, which SLC is planning to sign during 2020. The date for that rescheduled match will be announced in due course.
