Vijay Malalasekera, Interim Committee Chairman of the Board of Control for Cricket in Sri Lanka (BCCSL), said on Tuesday that the West Indies tour of Sri Lanka was very much on and that there was no cause for concern over it.
"Based on various newspaper reports, we got in touch with the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) and they indicated to us that there was no concern with regard to the Sri Lanka tour," said Malalasekera.
Cricket Board chief executive Anura Tennekoon confirmed that he had spoken to the WICB cricket operations manager Michael Hold who confirmed the tour was on.
The West Indies are due to arrive on the first week of November and play a series of three Tests and participate in a one-day international triangular with Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe.
Officially, however, the WICB have deferred making a "final decision" until its representatives meet Sri Lankan and Pakistani officials at the ICC meeting in Kuala Lumpur October 16-19.
West Indies are scheduled to tour Pakistan from January 29-March 4 next year.
