SLC chief Ranatunga plans more India-Lanka Tests

Sri Lanka Cricket's (SLC) newly-appointed chairman Arjuna Ranatunga on Wednesday said he is keen on increasing the frequency of Tests against India and will take up the matter with BCCI.

"I have just taken over. I am going to hold a meeting with the CEO OF SLC Duleep Mendis and other officials and work out the possibility of having regular exchange programmes regarding cricket matches with India," Ranatunga told.

He said it will be on the lines of regular cricket fixtures that India has with Australia and Pakistan.
