In the latest development surrounding India’s two-match away Test series against Sri Lanka, the two cricket boards - SLC and the BCCI have agreed on an almost two-week window between August 15 and 27 to host the World Test Championship matches. While the dates and venues are unconfirmed, with all stakeholders working towards finalising them, the two Asian giants will face off in a two-match Test series shortly after the Lanka Premier League, which concludes on Sunday (Aug 9). However, talks around adding three T20Is to the tour are also up in the air.&nbsp;Per a Cricbuzz report, the BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia has also travelled to the Island Nation as part of an ICC delegation to assess the situation within the SLC following its dissolution by the government of President Anura Kumara Dissanayake. The government, however, has since appointed an interim body named the Sri Lanka Cricket Transformation Committee. That body might discuss the proposed T20I series topic with the BCCI secretary.&nbsp;&nbsp;Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/watch-video-sharp-shooter-ms-dhoni-impresses-nsg-commandos-with-shooting-drills-in-chennai-hub-csk-vs-srh-ipl-2026-chepauk-1779104968399">WATCH | Sharp-shooter MS Dhoni impresses NSG commandos with shooting drills in Chennai hub</a> &nbsp;While there is a push to shift those shorter-format games to September, alignment may prove incredibly difficult given India’s extraordinarily packed calendar.
