The England cricket team are currently touring Sri Lanka in October and November 2018 to play three Tests, five One Day Internationals (ODIs) and one Twenty20 International (T20I) match.[1][2][3] The tour will include England's first Test matches in Sri Lanka since 2012.[4]

In September 2018, Sri Lanka Cricket named Dinesh Chandimal as the captain of the ODI team, replacing Angelo Mathews.[5] Days later, Mathews was dropped from Sri Lanka's ODI side due to fitness concerns.[6] However, Mathews was named in Sri Lanka's Test squad, which was named at the same time as the ODI squad.[7]
