As reported by Cricbuzz earlier, India are set to play a two-match Test series in Sri Lanka starting August 15. The series will be a part of the ongoing World Test Championship (WTC) cycle. India and Sri Lanka are placed fifth and sixth respectively on the WTC table.

The first Test will be played at Galle between August 15-19 while the second Test will be at the Sinhalese Sports Club (SSC) in Colombo between August 23-27.

The two boards had previously discussed the possibility of adding three T20Is to the tour, but Sri Lanka Cricket's (SLC) media release makes no mention of those matches.

India last toured Sri Lanka for a Test series in 2017, winning the series 3-0. They have travelled to Sri Lanka for a bilateral series eight times so far, with both teams winning three series each, and two ending drawn.

Across their last three series, India have remained unbeaten, with their last loss in Tests to Sri Lanka dating back to 2015.
