The Board of Cricket in Sri Lanka, with a view to ensuring the safety of all those participating in the Coca-Cola One-Day-International Tournament, discussed the current situation on Tuesday morning with officials in charge of security, Match Referee Cammie Smith, and the managers of Indian, New Zealand and Sri Lankan teams.

A decision was taken that all matches of the tournament will continue to be played as scheduled.

Officials in charge of security have given assurances that adequate precautions are being taken to ensure the safety of players and officials, which is often of the highest priority.

The next match as scheduled will be played on Wednesday, the 25th of July, where Sri Lanka take on New Zealand at the R. Premadasa Stadium. This is a game starting at 10:00 a.m.
