Indian and Sri Lankan fans are set to enjoy a full-fledged red-ball tour of Sri Lanka next month. For India, the series carries extra motivation, with the team riding on a five-match winning streak in Sri Lanka and remaining unbeaten in bilateral series there since 2008.
Sri Lanka, however, will look to turn the tide. Playing in familiar home conditions, where they have traditionally been a formidable side, they will be eager to break India’s long-standing dominance.
