The entire Sri Lankan first team, including senior players Kusal Perera, Dushmantha Chameera and Dhananjaya de Silva, have all returned negative in their latest RT-PCR tests ahead of the limited overs series against India.
It is now expected that the players would be allowed to enter the bio-bubble by Monday as they complete a week-long hard quarantine after their arrival from the United Kingdom.
As far as revised training itinerary is concerned, the Sri Lankan team will be practising at the Khettarama (R Premadas Stadium), since the Indians are training at the Singhalese Sports Club ground (SSC).
Once the players get to enter the bio-bubble, they can at least meet each other in their rooms and also start using the gymnasium in a staggered manner.
The outdoor training and skills session (net practice) is also expected to start in the next 48 hours.
The official is confident that there won’t be any more hiccups before the opening ODI on July 18.
