Mumbai, Ahmedabad to host Tests against SL

NEW DELHI: Sri Lanka is to play two Test matches against India in Mumbai and Ahmedabad in November, a year after England pulled out of playing in the two western cities following the terror attacks in Mumbai. More than 170 people were killed in the attacks in November 2008, which led to England pulling out of the last two matches of a limited-overs series. The team later returned to play Test matches in the southern city of Chennai and the northern town of Mohali. Kanpur will also host a Test match against Sri Lanka, the Indian cricket board said, adding that details of the tour would be finalised later. Five one-day games will be played in Cuttack, Rajkot, Vishakhapatnam, Calcutta and New Delhi, while Mohali and Nagpur will each host a Twenty20 match. ap
