ENG vs SL T20Is: Full squads, team news, schedule and all you need to know for Sri Lanka tour of England

T20I Troika: England Welcome Sri Lanka for Three-Match Series

Right then, gather round! England are hosting Sri Lanka for a quick three-match T20I series kicking off September 15 at the Rose Bowl in Southampton. It's a tight fixture list—Tuesday the 15th, then Cardiff on the 17th, and the finale at Manchester's Old Trafford on the 19th. First two games tip off at 11pm IST, with the last one at 7pm IST.

The Squads

England's come good and deep this time out. Harry Brook leads the batting charge alongside Ben Duckett, with the return of pace weapon Jofra Archer after his injury layoff. Jos Buttler holds the armband, and there's a healthy mix of youth and experience—Aneurin Donald and Tom Crocombe are the new faces, while Jamie Overton, Gus Atkinson and Duckett all come back into the fold.

Sri Lanka come in under Charith Asalanka at the helm. They've been hit by injuries—Kusal Mendis (hamstring) and Binura Fernando (back) are both out, with Tharindu Ratnayake and Madushanka stepping in to fill the gaps. A solid batting lineup with Pathum Nissanka and Kamindu Mendis, plus spin threat Wanindu Hasaranga.

The Injury Angle

Both camps are dealing with selection headaches. England miss Phil Salt, Jacob Bethell and Sam Curran through injuries, while Rehan Ahmed and Luke Wood don't make the cut. Sri Lanka's injury list is slightly longer, but Asalanka's got a capable squad to work with.

The stage is set for some sharp T20 cricket. Who's your pick to take the series?
