Rose Bowl plc Chairman, Rod Bransgrove said; "2011 will be an historic year for The Rose Bowl with our arrival on to the Test Match scene.
"In one sense this is the culmination of years of planning and hard work but in another sense it is only the beginning of our future as one of the major international cricket grounds in the world.
"Thursday 16 June 2011 will be a very special and proud day for The Rose Bowl and everyone associated with it."
The Test match is the last in the three match npower Test Series between England and Sri Lanka who are currently ranked third in the ICC Test Rankings and who will no doubt provide serious opposition to a resurgent England side.
