No play again


MUMBAI: Wet ground conditions caused by overnight rain prevented play on the second day of the three-day match between touring Sri Lanka and the Indian board president’s XI here on Thursday. The first day’s play was also washed out on Wednesday due to unseasonal rains caused by an approaching cyclone on India’s west coast that later drifted away. Sri Lanka now have just one day to gain match practice ahead of the first Test, which starts at the Motera stadium in Ahmedabad on Monday. Kumar Sangakkkara’s men are due to play three Tests, two Twenty20 matches and five ODIs on the seven-week tour.
