The Sri Lanka Cricket Board CEO Ashley de Silva has claimed that England's Test tour of Sri Lanka, which could not be completed in March due to the coronavirus pandemic, has been rescheduled to January next year.

England had spent around 10 days in Sri Lanka in March and played a warm-up match before the tour was called-off due to the Covid-19 outbreak. It was supposed to be a two-Test series as part of the ICC World Test Championship.
