The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has officially announced a white-ball tour of Sri Lanka in early 2026, comprising three ODIs followed by three T20Is as preparation for the T20 World Cup co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka.

Match Schedule

  • ODI Schedule:

    • 1st ODI: 22 January 2026
       
    • 2nd ODI: 24 January 2026
       
    • 3rd ODI: 27 January 2026
       
  • T20I Schedule:

    • 1st T20I: 30 January 2026
       
    • 2nd T20I: 1 February 2026
       
    • 3rd T20I: 3 February 2026

Venues are yet to be confirmed by Sri Lanka Cricket.

The series gives England exposure to subcontinental conditions, spinner-friendly pitches and the humid climates. This will be similar conditions they are expected to face in the T20 World Cup next year.

This will be England’s first white-ball tour of Sri Lanka since 2018. In that series, England secured a 3‑1 win in the ODI series and also won the T20I on that visit. It also follows a hectic run that includes tours of South Africa and Ireland, a visit to New Zealand, and the Ashes in Australia. All this, leading to the T20 World Cup.
