COLOMBO, Sri Lanka, March 19 (Reuters) - Sri Lanka will tour India to play five one-day internationals immediately after their rescheduled tour of New Zealand in April, officials said on Thursday.

Sri Lanka's two-test tour of New Zealand finishes on April 15 and the team will only have a three-day break before travelling to India. "The final dates and venues for the tour are now being finalised by the Indian board," a cricket board official confirmed on Thursday.

The last-minute tour will upset the plans of three players, who had been expected to fly to England in mid-April to play county cricket during the first half of the summer.

Chaminda Vaas (Worcestershire), Sanath Jayasuriya (Somerset) and Upul Chandana (Gloucestershire) will now not be able start their county season until the first week of May.

Muttiah Muralitharan is also scheduled to play a third season with Lancashire but he is not expected to regain full fitness in time for the India tour after a shoulder operation in February.
