Colombo: Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) on Monday released the squads for the all-round tour of the West Indies, with experienced wicketkeeper batsman Kusal Mendis named as the ODI and T20 captain.
Mendis, who has represented Sri Lanka in 73 Tests, 154 ODIs and 106 T20Is, will replace Dasun Shanaka and Sarith Asalanga as the T20I and ODI captains, while Dhananjaya De Silva will be the Test captain.
The upcoming tour, which will mark Sri Lanka’s first international outing since the lackluster ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, will begin with a three-match ODI series at Sabina Park in Kingston from June 3 to 8.
Following the ODIs, the two teams will engage in a three-match T20I series, scheduled to be played from June 11 to June 14 at the same venue.
