After cutting short their tour of South Africa, England has announced the confirmation of the rescheduling of their tour of Sri Lanka.
England's cricketers will play two Tests behind closed doors in Galle in January, following a period of quarantine in Hambantota, after the schedule for their rearranged tour of Sri Lanka was confirmed by the ECB on Wednesday.
This tour was supposed to be played in March when England had visited the island nation, but the outbreak of Coronavirus pandemic halted all plans, postponing the series to a later date.
The squad will arrive in Sri Lanka on January 2, on a chartered flight from London to Hambantota in the south of the island, where they will be permitted to train and prepare for five days from January 5-9 at the Mahinda Rajapaksa International Cricket Stadium.
The first Test will take place from January 14-18, with the second Test following on January 22-26. The squad then departs from Hambantota the following day.
England's Test squad is expected to be confirmed in the coming days, and comes in the wake of the abandonment of England's ODI tour of South Africa, due to concerns about the bio-secure integrity of the team hotel in Cape Town.
