Rest assured, Sri Lanka Cricket will do all that could be within reach to hold the series as it will get them an astounding $12 million in income from the 6 white-ball games.
SLC administrator Shammi Silva affirmed that they were scheduled to host India for only 3 matches yet figured out how to persuade the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to play 3 additional games.
“We had initially finalised to host three matches. But after some negotiations with the Indian Cricket Boadrivenrd, we managed to increase the matches to six which will enable us to raise an additional $6 million in revenue,” Silva told.
