Sri Lankan Cricket Team to tour India from Nov 01,2014

After West Indian players abuptly pulled out of their tour of India on Friday Oct 17,2014 at the end of the 4th ODI in the 5-Match ODI Series over pay disputes with the West Indies Cricket Board, Sri Lanka accepted India's invitation to play a five-match series from November01,2014

Sri Lanka Cricket chief Nishantha Ranatunga confirmed that the 1996 world champions have 'in principle' accepted India's invitation to play the series.

The Lankans had last played in India in 2009-10, when the hosts won a three-Test series 2-1. The two-match T201 series was drawn 1-1 and India won the ODI series 3-1.

The last match in Delhi was abandoned after the pitch was deemed unfit to play, thanks to dangerous bounce.

Sri Lanka and India have played 144 ODIs against each other since 1979.
