West Indies cut short Sri Lanka tour

HAMBANTOTA, Sri Lanka, (Reuters) – West Indies have   decided to cut short their current tour of Sri Lanka tour due   to adverse weather conditions prevailing in the country.
The first two one-day internationals of a five-match   series was scheduled to start yesterday at Sri Lanka’s new   international venue Hambantota but bad weather has prevented   both teams from having a single net session.
Both Cricket Boards have agreed to postpone the one-day   series and reschedule it for late January with three matches   instead of the present five.
A Sri Lanka Cricket release stated that “the decision was   taken with the mutual understanding of both Cricket Boards and   our Television partners.”
The matches are rescheduled to be played between late   January and first week of February.
Bad weather affected the three-match test series which   ended at Pallakele, Kandy on Sunday with the series shared 0-0.
The third test saw only 103.3 overs bowled in the entire   test and West Indies making 303-8 in that time.
