Sri Lanka v England ODI re-arranged

Sri Lanka Cricket has advised England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) of the need to adjust the date of the fourth ODI scheduled to be played at the R Premadasa International Cricket Stadium in Colombo.

The match that was previously scheduled for Saturday 6 December will now be played on Sunday 7 December (originally the reserve day for the game) for religious observance as 6 December is a Poya Day in Sri Lanka.

The third ODI in Hambantota remains scheduled for 3 December but now has 4 December available as a reserve day. There is now no reserve day for the fourth ODI.

Kent's James Tredwell in the 16-man England squad that fly out on 16 November.
