England's cricket team returned to Sri Lanka on Sunday to play two Tests, officials said, after previous matches were abandoned in March due to the coronavirus pandemic.

A British Airways charter flight carrying the players and support staff landed at the little-used Rajapaksa International Airport in the south of the island, with the team undergoing rapid antigen tests.
