England confirmed yesterday the dates for a white-ball tour of Sri Lank in January and February next year that will serve as part of their preparations for the 2026 T20 World Cup.

Harry Brook’s men will play the first of three oneday internationals on 22 January – two weeks after the scheduled fifth day of the fifth Ashes test in Sydney, a match in which the multi-format batsman, now England’s white-ball captain, is set to feature.

The ODI series in Sri Lanka ends on 27 January with a three-game T20 campaign starting on 30 January and ending on 3 February.

The venues for each match are to be confirmed by Sri Lanka Cricket.

The T20 World Cup will be jointly hosted by India, the reigning champions, and Sri Lanka in February and March.
