The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has revealed the updated schedule for India's tour of Sri Lanka in 2024.

Initially set to start on July 26, the tour will now begin on July 27, causing a shift in the subsequent match dates.

The tour kicks off with a three-match T20I series. The first match is scheduled for July 27, with the second match moved to July 28, initially planned for the 27th. The final T20I, previously set for July 29, will now be played on July 30.

This change has also affected the ODI series schedule. The first ODI, originally slated for August 1, has been rescheduled to August 2. The remaining two ODIs will be played as initially planned on August 4 and August 7.

This tour marks the debut of new head coach Gautam Gambhir, who recently took over from Rahul Dravid.
