West Indies will play a three-match T20I series followed by a three-game ODI series in October.
The T20I series will commence on 13 October, and all three games will be played in Dambulla. This will be followed by the ODI series, to be played from 20-26 October in Kandy.
Sri Lanka will seek to take confidence from their positive run in recent months, with an ODI series win over India, a Test match win against England at The Oval, and a brilliant run in the Test series against New Zealand at home.
Though the Men in Maroon had their fair share of disappointments in the Test arena, they recently beat South Africa 3-0 in a T20I contest at home.
In the ODI arena, the two sides are evenly matches, with 31 wins to West Indies to Sri Lanka’s 30. The Island Nation is just about ahead in the T20Is, with eight wins to their names as against seven for West Indies.
