(Reuters) - Sri Lanka have raised security concerns with the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) amid the ongoing anti-immigrant riots in Britain, with players requesting increased security ahead of their upcoming test series against England.

Sri Lankan players already in England for training before the three-match test series have asked their cricket board for better arrangements as they do not have a security plan before the entire test squad reaches London on Sunday.
