Micromax Cup Cricket: India Vs Sri Lanka ODI Series From Tomorrow!
Team India is set to
kick off the new cricket season. They meet their traditional rivals Sri Lanka in the first one-day international tomorrow
at Hambantota, in Sri Lanka .
The India-Sri Lanka bilateral cricket series hosted by Sri Lanka is part of the Future
Cricket Tour Programs (FTP) prepared by the International Cricket Council
(ICC).
India Tour of
Sri Lanka-2012 consists of five one day internationals to be played during July
21-August 4 and just one Twenty20 international on August 7. Most members of
Team India attended a
two-day warm up camp in Chennai before coming to Sri Lanka . While Sachin Tendulkar
opted for rest Virender Sehwag and Zaheer Khan have come back into the team.
This series is
important due to several reasons. First, the T20 World Cup is going to be
played in Sri Lanka
in September, 2012. Second, Team India
faces up to a very hectic season hosting tours of New
Zealand , England ,
Pakistan and Australia in
the coming months. And not the least, India is going to play all of these
in sub-continental conditions and is not scheduled to set foot abroad till late
2013.
Let us brace up
for an exciting cricket series! The Schedule!
