Sri Lanka one-dayer cancelled
Tuesday 13th April 2021
Kent Spitfires’ one-day tourist match against Sri Lanka scheduled for Friday 18th June has been cancelled.
Following discussions with the Sri Lankan cricket board, it has been agreed to cancel their scheduled men’s tour matches against first-class counties.
The tourists, as well as New Zealand and Pakistan’s men’s teams, will instead play intra-squad matches to allow them suitable preparation for their international fixtures this Summer.
These agreements will allow the ECB to focus on delivering the safest possible environment for all international cricket matches scheduled to take place over the summer.
ECB Chief Executive Officer, Tom Harrison, said: “We are looking forward to staging a memorable Summer of men’s and women’s international cricket when fans are set to return to venues.
“Ensuring the safest possible environment for international cricket is our first priority and we are appreciative for the understanding of our fellow boards.”
England will be taking on New Zealand in a Women’s One Day International this September at The Spitfire Ground, St Lawrence >>>
