Sri Lanka ready to host Champions Trophy

With the International Cricket Council finding it tough to convince apprehensive cricketers on touring Pakistan for next month's Champions Trophy, Sri Lanka on Friday said it is ready to hold the tournament even at a short notice.
"We are ready to hold the Champions Trophy as we are the alternate venue for the tournament," Sri Lanka Cricket Chief Executive Duleep Mendis said.
Sri Lanka Cricket officials feel that all the grounds are in good condition as the Indian cricket tour is currently taking place.
