Sri Lanka Confirms June–July West Indies Tour in First Visit in Five Years

The tour signals a fresh start under Gary Kirsten after a Super Eight exit at the T20 World Cup.

Overview

Sri Lanka Cricket, which confirmed the tour Sunday, set a June 3 start and a July 7 finish for a multi-format series of three ODIs, three T20Is and two Tests.
All three ODIs are booked for Sabina Park in Kingston on June 3, 6 and 8, followed by T20Is at the same venue on June 11, 13 and 14.
A four-day warm-up runs June 18–21 at Coolidge Cricket Ground in Antigua before two Tests at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium on June 25–29 and July 3–7.
The announcement follows staff changes, with Gary Kirsten appointed after Sanath Jayasuriya stepped down, and Dasun Shanaka continuing as captain.
The early June start could pull some Sri Lankan IPL players from late playoff games, according to InsideSport, because the series begins soon after the IPL season ends.
