The Indian national cricket team toured Ceylon in March to April 1945 and played five matches including an international against the Ceylon national team.[1] As Ceylon had not then achieved Test status, the international is classified as a first-class match. Played at the Paikiasothy Saravanamuttu Stadium in Colombo, the match was impacted by rain and ended in a draw. India were captained by Vijay Merchant and Ceylon by Sargo Jayawickreme.[2]
