Sri Lanka to replace Zimbabawe for India T20 series
NEW DELHI, Sept 25, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Sri Lanka will replace Zimbabwe in the
Twenty20 series in India in January after the African nation’s suspension by
the world governing body, officials said Wednesday.
Zimbabwe was suspended by the International Cricket Council (ICC) in July
over a failure to keep the sport free from government interference.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India said Sri Lanka would play a
three-match series starting January 5 in Guwahati.
The second Twenty20 match will be played on January 7 in Indore and the
third on January 10 in Pune.
Zimbabwe most recently played in the tri-nation Twenty20 tournament in
Bangladesh, an event not organised by the ICC.
