England to tour Sri Lanka ahead of T20 World Cup 2026

Sport

England's men's side will tour Sri Lanka for a white-ball series in early 2026, ahead of the T20 World Cup. Confirming the development, the England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB) announced the itinerary for the tour comprising of three ODIs and three T20Is.

The tour will begin with the 50-over format with games scheduled on January 22, January 24 and January 27. The T20Is will then follow on January 30, February 1 and February 3. Venues for the matches are as yet undecided.

The T20I series will be part of England's build-up to the World Cup scheduled to be hosted by India and Sri Lanka. England, champions in 2010 and 2022, fell at the semi-final stage in the previous edition in the West Indies and the USA.
