Sri Lanka are all set to face West Indies in the first T20I of their white-ball bilateral series on Sunday, October 13 at Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium. (More Cricket News)
This match is part of the West Indies' tour of Sri Lanka for the 2024 white-ball bilateral series, which consists of three T20Is and three ODIs.
Sri Lanka have named a strong 17-member squad for the home series against West Indies. Former skipper Dasun Shanaka is a notable absentee from Sri Lanka's T20I squad for the bilateral series.
From the team that defeated India 2-1 in the T20Is in July, only Shanaka and pacer Dushmantha Chameera are missing.
For the West Indies, in-form wicket-keeper batsman Nicholas Pooran, all-rounder Andre Russell, left-arm spinner Akeal Hosein, and batsman Shimron Hetmyer have declined the tour because of personal reasons.
The two teams are now in a process of rebuilding and will have to reap their benefits through this series with the hope that they would progress in the next ICC tournaments.
