The Tournament Committee of Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) Tuesday decided to postpone the Major Club Youth Tournament 2020/21 Semi-Finals, scheduled for 7th October 2020 until further notice.
This decision was taken as a precautionary measure following recommendations by the Health Authorities due to the current COVID 19 situation.
Just a week ago, Bangladesh’s three-Test tour of Sri Lanka was also postponed indefinitely, following a stalemate between the BCB and SLC over quarantine requirements, with weeks of negotiation failing to yield an agreement between the two boards.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Sri Lanka has already lost out on hosting a couple of high-profile cricket series. In March, England’s two-Test tour of Sri Lanka was postponed after the ECB requested for it due to the growing threat of the virus. Last week, India’s tour of Sri Lanka was also called off, an assignment that should have seen India played three ODIs and three T20Is starting June end and continuing till July.
