Cricket Australia (CA) has confirmed the schedule and venues for the Dettol T20 International (T20I) Series between Australia and Sri Lanka.
The five-match series from February 11-20 will now be played across three venues, the SCG, Manuka Oval and MCG.
The second, third and fourth T20Is have been relocated from Queensland and Adelaide to minimise biosecurity risks by reducing travel across the country.
Nick Hockley, CA CEO, said: “CA will continue to prioritise the health and safety of all players, match officials, staff, fans, broadcasters and the wider community as we navigate the challenges presented by Covid-19.&nbsp;
“We know that fans in South Australia and Queensland will be disappointed to miss out on these matches and we remain committed to bringing international cricket to all states and territories across the country as safely as possible.
“We thank Sri Lanka Cricket for working closely with us to make the series possible and look forward to five entertaining matches.”
Ticket purchasers for all relocated matches will be fully refunded and will be contacted directly by the relevant ticket agent.
Tickets for the relocated matches will go on sale on next Friday (January 28).

Stuart Clark has fond memories of the 2006-07 Ashes series –&nbsp;and there's little wonder why.
The towering Test quick took more wickets than any other bowler to spearhead the hosts' charge towards the eventual 5-0 series victory.
It was the ultimate redemption story for the Australians following on from the disappointment of the 2005 Ashes tour in England.
"Everyone of those Australian Test matches was a highlight," <a href="https://rss.com/podcasts/scgpod/330295/" data-new-window="true" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Clark told the SCG Podcast.</a>
"But Sydney, it was the first time my mum and dad got a chance to watch me play cricket at the SCG, live for Australia.&nbsp;
"It was a very special moment for me, and my whole family. I got a few wickets, and a few runs as well... It was just a huge, huge moment. It all culminated at the SCG."

Brett Lee Talks The Ashes Rivalry & Playing At The SCG

Sydney Sixers star Dan Christian joined Tim Gilbert on the SCG Podcast in National Reconciliation Week (May 27 –&nbsp;June 3, 2021) to talk the importance of Reconciliation in the community.
"It's a really important week, a really great week for everyone to recognise Indigenous culture and heritage. We need to keep creating awareness of all the issues Indigenous people face and what they're trying to deal with, every day," Christian said of the week.
"I've been really vocal trying to create some awareness... the theme of the week being about actions – and not words –&nbsp;it starts at a government level for sure."
For the first time in the franchise’s 11-year history, the Sydney Sixers will wear a specially designed Indigenous jersey at this Saturday’s match against the Hurricanes (December 11).
Christian and Sixers WBBL Ashely Gardner star have teamed up with local artist Jordan Ardler (Bidjigal Woman) to create a design that represents the players’ totems and mobs, and the paths taken by their teammates to come together in Sydney.
The BBL’s First Nations Round will officially take place when the Sixers take a home match to Coffs Harbour later in the season. The signed, match-worn jerseys will be auctioned off, with funds going to support the Sixers’ Aboriginal &amp; Torres Strait Islander community programs.
