The BCCI is planning to advance India's cricket tour of Sri Lanka next month for a three-test series by at least a week.India are set to play Zimbabwe in a three ODI and two T20 series and the final match of the tour will end on july 19, leaving little rest for players in between.

"We are working out the modalities and the programme will be out in 2-3 days. We are keen that the Indian team returns from Lanka by september 2 or so, so that they have a complete break of one month before the home series against South Africa in October-November," a BCCi source said.
