New Delhi: And it is official! After finishing off with the T20I series against Australia and then a limited-overs series against New Zealand, Team India will welcome home Sri Lanka for a packed tour, starting November 16 in Kolkata, till December 24 in Mumbai. Well, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Tuesday made the official announcement.

As per the tour details, the India-Sri Lanka series will feature three tests, three ODIs and three T20Is. The first Test match will be played at Eden Gardens in Kolkata on November 16, with the Test schedule then shifting to Nagpur and finally to New Delhi.

The ODI series will kick start on December 10 in Dharamsala while the other two venues will be Mohali (December 13) and Vizag (December 17).

Lanka's tour will finally end with a three-match T20I series starting December 20 in Cuttack, followed by Indore (December 22) and finally Mumbai (December 24)

Well, prior to the Australia series, India were in the Emerald Island. The Islanders were "tour-washed" 9-0, a historic whitewash of Lankan hope in all three formats of the game. Ergo, a possible revenge awaits the new hosts for the upcoming series.
