Hosting a global tournament at home will provide Sri Lanka with a significant opportunity to showcase its talent on the biggest stage, while fans across the island can look forward to witnessing world-class cricket action.
In addition to the T20 World Cup, Sri Lanka’s men will also have a strong presence in the longest format of the game, with six Test matches lined up during the year. These fixtures will be crucial as Sri Lanka continues its push to strengthen its red-ball performances and build consistency at the international level.
