England and Sri Lanka cricket series preparations

Overview

Sri Lanka and England have finalized preparations for upcoming white-ball cricket series. Sri Lanka announced squads for a tour consisting of three T20I matches and three One Day Internationals (ODIs) starting September 15. Due to injuries to Kusal Mendis and Binura Fernando, Charith Asalanka will captain the T20I side. England has named Harry Brook as captain for both formats, with the squad missing Phil Salt, Sam Curran, and Jacob Bethell due to injury or rehabilitation.

In a related development, the England Lions announced a 20-player squad for a two-match T20 series against Sri Lanka scheduled for September 11 and 13. This series, coached by Jonathan Trott, is intended as a development platform for emerging talent and players on the fringes of full international selection.
