The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has confirmed a slight change in the fixture of the upcoming home ODI series against the Sri Lanka National Cricket Team.

Ahead of the 2027 ODI World Cup, the India National Cricket Team is set to host Sri Lanka for a white-ball series. The six-match series comprises three ODIs followed by three T20Is. The bilateral series is set to start on December 13.

Visakhapatnam will host the India vs Sri Lanka 1st ODI

According to the previous schedule, Delhi was selected as the venue to host the first match of the series. On November 5, BCCI, through an official press release, informed that the match will be played at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam instead of in Delhi.

As per the official release, due to the potential weather disruption and the proposed renovation work at the stadium, the board decided to shift the opening match of the upcoming series from Delhi to Visakhapatnam.

The India vs Sri Lanka series will start with a 3-match ODI series, and then, after the conclusion of the series, there will be a three-match T20I contest. Six matches will be arranged across Visakhapatnam, Bengaluru, Ahmedabad, Rajkot, Cuttack, and Pune.
