Then a call was taken by the SLSRFA along with the Ministry of Defense to hold all games at the Sugathadasa Stadium starting from May 31st running through to the month of June. However, with a majority of schools forwarding their dissent over the decision, the postponement seemingly became the only available option.
However, the 75th Bradby Shield encounter will take place on the scheduled dates of 1st and 15th June and both fixtures will be played as friendlies and not recognized as tournament fixtures.
