Sri Lanka will commence their 2024 international calendar with a white-ball home series against Zimbabwe in January, which will consist of three ODIs and as many T20Is. This will be closely followed by the arrival of Afghanistan for a multi-format tour in the January-February period, comprising a one-off Test, three ODIs and three T20Is.
The first away tour of the season for Sri Lanka will be to Bangladesh, for a two-match Test series and three games in each of the two white-ball formats.
The 2024 T20 World Cup, which will be played in West Indies and USA, in the June-July window will be immediately followed by the high-profile white-ball series against India.
Sri Lanka will travel next to England for three Tests, but return immediately to host New Zealand for two red-ball games. The Kiwis will later return for the white-ball leg in November.
In the meanwhile, Sri Lanka will also host West Indies for three ODIs and three T20Is in October.
The 2024 season will end with the red-ball tour of South Africa, for two matches, and a return white-ball series in New Zealand.
''We are heading into a highly exciting year with a lot of international cricket to be played, which augurs well for us, as our team will be engaged in competitive cricket year around," said Ashley De Silva, CEO of Sri Lanka Cricket. "The 2024 calendar is expected to give our players a lot of playing opportunities, fans entertainment, and our sponsors great exposure,'' added De Silva.
