MUMBAI, Nov 12 (Reuters) - Sri Lanka's tour opener against
an Indian Board President's XI was abandoned without a ball
being bowled for a second successive day on Thursday due to wet
ground conditions.
Sri Lanka are second behind South Africa in the official
test rankings and will be aiming to win a series on Indian soil
for the first time.
The visitors, who have failed to record a victory in any of
the 14 matches they have played in India since their first test
visit in 1982, are due to play three tests, five one-dayers and
two Twenty20 internationals.
The opening test starts in Ahmedabad on Nov 16.
