SL_FAVORABLE_REPLY_AUS_20MAR1996

Sri Lanka is expecting a favourable reply from Australia on their proposed tour of Sri Lanka. The Board of Control for Cricket in Sri Lanka has sent a fax to the Australian Cricket Board requesting their confirmation. The ACB is yet to decide the fate of its scheduled tour in July/August. Sri Lanka`s next Test cricket commitment at home will be Australia in July/ August. The Aussies who were last here at around the same period in 1992, are scheduled to play a series of three Tests and one-day internationals. The Singer four-nation limited over tournament which was first held in September 1994 will take place immediately after the Australian tour. Apart from Australia and Sri Lanka, two other teams who will play in the quadrangular tournament are India and Zimbabwe.
