Sri Lanka is gearing up for a tour of the West Indies in June and July 2026, where they'll engage in a full bilateral series featuring three ODIs, three T20Is, and two Test matches.

The tour kicks off with the ODI series starting on June 3, followed by the T20Is beginning on June 11, with both white-ball formats set to unfold at Sabina Park in Kingston. 

After that, the action shifts to Antigua for the Test series, which is slated to start on June 25. Before diving into the red-ball matches, there will be a four-day warm-up game. These Test matches will also count towards the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2025-27, adding extra weight to the series. 

Currently, Sri Lanka is sitting in fifth place in the standings, having played just two matches, and they'll be eager to seize this early chance to rack up some points. On the flip side, the West Indies, who have played eight matches without a win, will be looking to turn their fortunes around.

The last time these two teams met in a bilateral series was in October 2024 in Sri Lanka, where the hosts showcased their dominance across all formats. Their most recent encounter in white-ball cricket took place in 2021 in Galle, with Sri Lanka once again coming out on top. 

Both teams recently participated in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026. Sri Lanka had a strong showing in the group stage but struggled to keep the momentum going in the Super Six phase. Meanwhile, the West Indies displayed some consistency but ultimately exited the tournament after a pivotal loss to India in Kolkata.
