Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) secretary Mohan de Silva confirmed receiving the proposals covering the three tests, five one-dayers and a Twenty20 International set to be played between the teams from May 19 to July 5.
“We have received the proposals but we haven’t decided yet,” De Silva told Reuters .
“We’ll discuss it in our next board meeting and announce our decision in a week or two,” said the official, declining to elaborate, saying he had not gone through the details yet.
The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) introduced the points-based scoring for the women’s Ashes in 2013, awarding six points for every test victory, while two points were on offer for a one-day or Twenty20 International victory.
For the women’s Ashes last year, ECB and Cricket Australia (CA) decided test wins were worth four points, while a draw earned the teams two each.
