England will host Sri Lanka in a three-match T20I series beginning Tuesday, September 15, after a clean sweep of Pakistan in a three-Test series. The two sides will then play an ODI series once the T20Is finish.
England have not lost a series since India hammered them in 2025. Since that defeat, they have won four of their five bilateral series. The only exception was South Africa, against whom the series ended in a draw.
Sri Lanka also arrive with confidence. Their last series came against West Indies. Led by Kusal Mendis, Sri Lanka recovered after falling 0-1 behind and won the series. However, Charith Asalanka will be leading Sri Lanka in this series.
England have already beaten Sri Lanka convincingly this year. On their earlier tour of Sri Lanka, England won all three matches and clean-swept the hosts. They would also draw a lot of confidence from their last series against world champions India, where the latter looked off-colour.
