In order to compensate cancelled tour of Pakistan, India is going to play 5 ODI and 1 T20 in Sri Lanka as 1st ODI will be played on Wednesday, 28th January, 2009 at Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium in a Day-Night game from 14.30 local and 9.00 GMT.

India last played ODI series against England two months back and won by 5-0 of the 7 match series shortened due Mumbai terror attack. They also won the 5 match ODI series played in July 2008 by 3-2 so they are in high confidence as all batsman are in great form.
