All Sri Lankan cricketers who are bound to take part in the upcoming limited over series against India have tested negative and will now come out of their mandatory isolation on Sunday evening.

They will start their training session on Tuesday at Khettarma stadium. However, coaches and other members of the support staff will remain in isolation. 

While the Sri Lankan side was due to come out of quarantine by Friday, the players were forced to spend 2 more days in isolation after Sri Lanka batting coach Grant Flower and Team analyst GT Niroshan tested positive.

The series that was to start on Tuesday was also rescheduled due to the same reason. The 3 ODIs will now be played on July 18th, 20th, and 23rd and the 3 match T 20 series will begin from July 25th.
