Colombo, January 27

Sri Lanka has announced a six-match tour of the West Indies, with matches scheduled for February and March 2026.

The two cricketing powerhouses will play three ODIs, starting on February 20, followed by three T20Is, with the first scheduled for the 28th of February, according to the ICC website.

The tour will conclude with the third T20I on March 3. All six contests will be played at the Grenada National Stadium in Grenada.

The T20I series, in particular, will be crucial as both teams look to build their prep towards the 2026 Women's T20 World Cup in England this summer.

Sri Lanka is currently the sixth-ranked ODI nation in the Women's Rankings, while the West Indies sit in ninth spot. As far as the T20I Rankings are concerned, the West Indies are in sixth, while Sri Lanka is seventh.

Sri Lanka will be looking to win their first T20I series since their 2024 Asia Cup triumph. The West Indies have won their last two T20I series at home against Bangladesh and South Africa.

Interesting that all matches are at one venue. Must be a cost-saving measure, but doesn't it take away the chance for fans across the Caribbean to watch? A bit disappointing for local supporters.

As an Indian cricket fan, I love watching these contests. The Windies at home are always tough. SL's bowling vs WI's power-hitting will be the key battle. Hope the matches are televised here!

The rankings are so close! This should be a very competitive series. Good prep for the World Cup indeed. More bilateral series like this are needed to strengthen women's cricket globally.

Scheduling it for 2026 feels so far away! Wish they had something sooner. But still, it's on the calendar and that's what matters. Let's hope for some thrilling cricket. 🤞
