India likely to play all their games against Sri Lanka at Colombo's R. Premadasa Stadium

Sri Lanka are set to host India for three T20Is, and as many ODIs in July and the Sri Lankan cricket board has more or less confirmed that all games will be played at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo behind closed doors.

Traveling to different venues can lead to the breach in bio bubbles, as we saw in the IPL. Hence, the Sri Lankan Cricket Board is taking no chances by hosting six games at one stadium.

Sri Lanka have already successfully hosted England and Bangladesh this year, and Sri Lanka Cricket’s Administrative Committee chairman Arjuna de Silva is confident of pulling off India's tour as well.

"We plan to host the entire series at one venue, As of now, it has been decided that the Premadasa Stadium will host the fixtures. Obviously, it depends on how the situation is around that time. During the series against England and Bangladesh, we took the help of the Sri Lanka Army commandos to maintain bubble security, we have all the help from the health ministry, with about 10 doctors taking care of the bubble, so our medical team is large. We followed a similar thing during the England series and that was successful, so we will stick to it,” Arjuna de Silva told Sportstar.

Regarding mandatory quarantine norms, De Silva added:

"We will stick to the protocol where the players will have to undergo hard quarantine for the first three days and in the next four days, they will be allowed to train."
