Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe have agreed to postpone their one-day series next month because of issues raised by the proposed broadcaster, Ten Sports.
Zimbabwe Cricket managing director Ozias Bvute and his Sri Lanka counterpart Duleep Mendis reached the agreement during the ICC chief executives' meeting earlier this week.
"[The] common broadcaster requested that because they have also committed to showing the South Africa-Australia and West Indies-England series during the time we would otherwise have toured, could we delay the tour by a couple of months," Lovemore Banda, ZC's media manager, told Cricinfo."Given our relationship with them as our joint rights holder, we had no problem with acceding to their request."
Zimbabwe were due to play a tour match and five ODIs in Colombo, the first scheduled for March 13. The series is likely to be re-arranged for later this year.

Executive editor Martin Williamson joined the Wisden website in its planning stages in 2001 after failing to make his millions in the internet boom when managing editor of Sportal. Before that he was in charge of Sky Sports Online and helped launch and run Sky News Online. With a preference for all things old (except his wife and children), he has recently confounded colleagues by displaying an uncharacteristic fondness for Twenty20 cricket. His enthusiasm for the game is sadly not matched by his ability, but he remains convinced that he might be a late developer and perseveres in the hope of an England call-up with his middle-order batting and non-spinning offbreaks. He is now managing editor of ESPN EMEA Digital Group as well as his Cricinfo responsibilities.
