After much deliberation the FTP tour to Zimbabwe will take place in September following the Sri Lanka’s series against Australia.

The tour will see the Lankans getting involved in two Test matches and a tri-series which would also involve the West Indies.

The tour will take place between the first week of October and will go on till the second week of November. 

Sri Lanka last played a Test series there was way back in 2004 where they beat Zimbabwe in both tests by innings -- by 240 runs and 254 runs respectively.

Back home, the tour opener for the Australian visitors will be a three-day match at the P. Saravanamuttu Stadium from 18 to 20 July. 

The main tour would contain three Tests (July 26-30 – Pallekelle, August 4-8 at Galle and August 13-17 in Colombo) and five ODIs.

They also play two T-20s on September 6 and 9 in Pallekelle and Colombo.
