Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, Pallekele
The 35,000-capacity Pallekele International Cricket Stadium near Kandy has hosted just one Test match and is one of the three new stadiums developed for the World Cup.
The preparations have been far from ideal though and, after two inspections, a deadline of two weeks has been imposed for all finishing work to be completed before the stadium hosts three World Cup matches.
