The visiting Sri Lankan cricket team were on Saturday denied a good practice match ahead of their upcoming three-Test series against India.
The opening day of their tie against a Board President's XI had to be abandoned because of rain, which also threatened to disrupt the remaining two days of the match.
Sri Lanka, who last played a Test match in India in 1997, open the series in Chennai on December 2 with the other two Tests to be played in New Delhi (December 10-14) and Kanpur (December 18-22).
