Sri Lanka is set to kick off their all-format tour of the West Indies with a three-match One-Day International series, beginning on Wednesday at Sabina Park in Jamaica. The tour itinerary also includes two Test matches and three Twenty20 Internationals, providing both sides with a packed schedule across formats.
Kusal Mendis has been handed the ODI captaincy after Sri Lanka opted to make a change at the top, ending Charith Asalanka's stint as skipper. The squad has received a significant lift with Wanindu Hasaranga returning to action after recovering from injury, while Eshan Malinga's standout performances in the IPL have been rewarded with selection.
The tourists arrive with a strengthened line-up, featuring several important names returning to the fold. Hosts West Indies will be led by Shai Hope and have recalled both Shimron Hetmyer and Alzarri Joseph for the series.
After a lengthy spell on the sidelines, Joseph has earned a recall to the West Indies ODI squad. The seamer has not played a one-day international since Australia visited the Caribbean last year, having spent several months recovering from a back problem. Gudakesh Motie also returns to the fold after sitting out the New Zealand series late last year.
