The chairman of the Interim Committee of the Board of Control for Cricket in Sri Lanka, Vijaya Malalasekara, today pledged that the West Indies would be here in December to play in the triangular tournament and the three-match Test series.
The Test and the triangular series against the West Indies were in the BCCSL schedule, but there were doubts about the participation of the West Indies since they had not confirmed anything.
Yesterday Malalasekara told CricInfo, before leaving for the ICC meeting in London, that the West Indies had confirmed their participation and that they would definitely be here.
Though Sri Lanka have been playing Test cricket for close to two decades, West Indies have played only three Tests against the island nation.
The West Indies will start the tour with the triangular series, which also involves Zimbabwe, and then proceed to the three Tests.
