England confirm dates for white-ball tour of Sri Lanka<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

LONDON, Aug 20, 2025 (AFP) – England confirmed Wednesday 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.<\/p>\n

Harry Brook’s men will play the first of three one-day internationals on January 22 — 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.<\/p>\n

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

The venues for each match are to be confirmed by Sri Lanka Cricket.<\/p>\n

The T20 World Cup will be jointly hosted by India, the reigning champions, and Sri Lanka in February and March.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"England confirm dates for white-ball tour of Sri Lanka LONDON, Aug 20, 2025 (AFP) – England confirmed Wednesday…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":359208,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5008],"tags":[113673,748,393,4884,113672,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-359207","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-england","8":"tag-bangladeshi-newspaper","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-most-popular-english-news","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115060664161812867","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/359207","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=359207"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/359207\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/359208"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=359207"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=359207"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=359207"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
