While speaking ahead of the tour Carey said the following, “We’ve had a number of meetings leading in to the tour with full clarity of what’s going on,” Carey said on Monday.
“Once we hit the ground we will see with our own eyes. Personally, I don’t feel there is a concern to tour.
“We are always well looked after by CA, security, the information we are given, so it’s exciting to hopefully put a bit of a smile on the Sri Lankan faces.
