    "editor1": "<p><span style=\"font-family:arial\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">Colombo, Oct 19 (IANS)&nbsp;After agreeing to tour India from Nov 1 following the the West Indies&#39; refusal to complete the tour, Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) Sunday said it will host India in a Test series instead of traveling to India in August 2015.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;As we are obliging India with a five-match One-Day International (ODI) series there next month, India are obliged to return the tour next year and we have switched the Test series,&quot; SLC secretary Nishantha Ranatunga was quoted as saying by espncricinfo.com.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nHowever, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is yet to confirm the swap. It is understood that the BCCI has held preliminary discussions with SLC in this regard.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThe proposal of switching the venue for the 2015 Test series will be put before the working committee of the board for consideration, which will finalise the arrangement, according to a senior BCCI functionary.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nBy hosting the three-Test series with India, SLC stands to make around $7-8 million, according to Ranatunga. No ODIs or Twenty20 Internationals will be included in the itinerary.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nBoth the countries have not met since the 2010 series when world&#39;s highest wicket-taker Mutthiah Muralitharan retired.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
