As we know that Zimbabwe is suspended by ICC recently, hence the Zimbabwe vs India 3-match T20I series cannot be played in January hence BCCI has invited Srilankan team to replace Zimbabwe in the 3-match T20I series in January which is going to be hosted in Guwahati, Indore, and Pune respectively, hence the venues & dates remain same as scheduled with Zimbabwe. Srilanka has accepted the invitation by BCCI for this request.
