Sri Lankan cricket has announced their fixtures for 2024 and they will host the Indian team for a bilateral series in July. The series will see The Men in Blue and Island Nation compete in three ODI’s and T20Is.
The white-ball series is scheduled to play right after the 2024 T20 World Cup in June in the West Indies and the USA. Team India last toured Sri Lanka in 2021 for a bilateral series where the Shikhar Dhawan-led side won the ODI leg 2-1 and lost the T20I leg with the same margin.

Including the India series Sri Lanka will be playing 10 Test matches as part of their World Test Championship(WTC) cycle, 21 ODI and 21 T20I excluding the T20 World Cup. One of the major assignments will be the three-Test away series in England, which is a part of the current World Test Championship. The other tough assignment will be the two-Test series against South Africa in November.
Sri Lankan cricket in the coming days will be looking to improve their performances on the global stage after their poor World Cup campaign in India where they finished ninth and failed to qualify for the Champions Trophy 2025 which is expected to be hosted in Pakan.
Amidst the poor performance, Sri Lanka’s sports miner Roshan Ranasinghe sacked the SLC board and installed an interim committee headed Arjuna Ranatunga, but Sri Lanka’s courts essentially reinstated the board a day later issuing a 14-day stay order on the gazette that dissolved the board.
A couple of days later, the cricket board was suspended the ICC with immediate effect because of extensive government interference in the board’s adminration.
