India’s warm-up match against a Sri Lanka XI is reduced from four days to three days ahead of the Test series. The practice game is scheduled for August 7 to August 9 at the NCC Ground in Colombo. The warm-up fixture is intended to prepare India for the upcoming international matches against Sri Lanka. Following the shortened practice period, India begins a two-Test series against Sri Lanka on August 15. The series forms part of the ongoing World Test Championship cycle. Both reports confirm the revised dates, the match being played against a Sri Lanka XI rather than the full Test team, and the venue in Colombo. No additional changes to the overall Test schedule are indicated in the sources provided. The information is consistent across outlets, with both noting the same shortened window for the warm-up game, the start of the Test series on August 15, and the World Test Championship context.
