England are all set to end their summer of cricket with Sri Lanka
England close out their home summer with a white-ball assignment against Sri Lanka, beginning with three T20Is before the series shifts into the 50-over format. The opener at the Utilita Bowl in Southampton on Tuesday marks the start of a tour that also includes three ODIs later in the month.
Harry Brook leads the hosts in the absence of Phil Salt, Jacob Bethell, and Sam Curran, with uncapped T20 Blast performer Aneurin Donald receiving a maiden call-up to the squad. England arrives fresh off a 3-0 Test series sweep of Pakistan and a similarly dominant 3-0 T20I clean sweep of Sri Lanka earlier this year, giving them every reason to expect a comfortable series.
Sri Lanka, led by Charith Asalanka after regular captain Kusal Mendis was ruled out with a hamstring injury, have endured a difficult year in the format, losing 10 of their 15 completed T20Is in 2026. Binura Fernando’s back issue has also forced changes to the squad, with Dilshan Madushanka and Tharindu Rathnayake drafted in as replacements ahead of the tour.
