India-s limited-overs tour of Sri Lanka in June-July was on Thursday called off for now due to the COVID-19 pandemic with both the Boards saying that the situation is not feasible for the games to go ahead. India were scheduled to play three ODIs and as many T20s starting June end and continuing till July in Sri Lanka. The dates for the matches had not yet been finalised. "It is not possible to go ahead with the tour in June-July and we have conveyed it to the Sri Lankan board SLC. However, we remain committed to the series at a later date," BCCI treasurer Arun Dhumal told PTI.

The cancellation was expected as Indian players are yet to resume training with cases continuing to rise rapidly in the country, which has recorded more than 8,000 COVID-19 deaths and close to three lakh cases. The players will need four to six weeks to regain match fitness after training resumes. However, both the boards remain committed to the series and having it in August is a possibility.
