[February 11 2011]

<P>By Chris Dhambarage


<P>Sri Lanka’s opening 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup warm up match against Netherlands has been shifted to SSC grounds in Colombo due to persistent heavy rain in Kandy.

<P>The match was scheduled to be played at the reconstructed Pallekele International Stadium on February 12. But as the weather conditions  as not yet improved in that area as well the second option was to shift the match to Colombo and it will now be played at the SSC ground in Maitland Place.
