India may play three T20Is against Sri Lanka later this year

India could play three T20 Internationals against Sri Lanka later this year when the team travels to the island nation for a two-Test affair which will be a part of the World Test Championship.

An official from the BCCI said the possibility of playing three T20Is is being explored since a 15-day window is available as per schedule.

The BCCI has also received a request from the Cricket Association of Nepal for sending its A team for a bilateral series.


The official insisted that BCCCI was not contemplated imposing a five-year cooling off period on former Indian players to compete in overseas T20 leagues but a three-member committee has been formed to look into the matter.

"A three-member committee has been created to form the draft policy but there is no time period in discussion of imposing any specific time period of cool-off," a BCCI official said on Saturday.

The subject of imposing a cool-off has been in talks for the past few years but the board is yet to take concrete steps in this direction.
