Sri Lanka Cricket has sold broadcast rights for the forthcoming
three-Test series against India to Sony for $3.25 million - a $1.85
million increase from the bid the board had originally received from Ten
Sports.
As part of the new deal, SLC advanced the tour by six days, and moved the third Test from Pallekele to the SSC in Colombo, as Kandy was deemed too prone to rain to host a match in late August.
The first Test in Galle had been scheduled to begin on August 18, but has been brought forward to avoid a clash with Sri Lanka's general elections, which are set for August 17.
India are also likely to play a warm-up match in Colombo before the Tests begin.
3-Test Match Schedule
Aug 12-16 1st Test, Galle
Aug 20-24 2nd Test, P Sara Oval, Colombo
Aug 28-Sep 1 3rd Test, SSC, Colombo
