Sri Lanka is said to have asked the BCCI to schedule the T20Is first on the tour, and the hosts are expected to make changes as a result. Also, according to a report in the Times of India, Mohali is unlikely to host the day-night Test due to the possibility of dew being a factor.
However, the BCCI is still keeping a close eye on the Covid-19 situation in the country. A final decision on tweaking the schedule will be made soon, according to sources close to the development.
