In the year 2024, the Sri Lankan cricket team is scheduled to play 52 international matches, including the ICC T20 World Cup. They’ll jump back into the ICC World Test Championship 2023-25 cycle with a tour to Bangladesh in February and March. Unfortunately, their 9th-place finish in the World Cup 2023 points table means they won’t participate in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, set to be held in Pakistan.

Sri Lanka Cricket Facing Turbulence after ICC Ban
The International Cricket Council (ICC) took action against Sri Lanka Cricket, imposing a ban due to government interference following their exit from the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023.
This move was prompted by Sri Lanka’s poor performance in the tournament, leading to political repercussions. Consequently, the ICC relocated the ICC Under-19 World Cup 2024 from Sri Lanka to South Africa in response to the ban. However, in a subsequent ICC board meeting, Sri Lanka was granted permission to participate in bilateral cricket and ICC events.
Reflecting on India’s recent encounters with Sri Lanka, the last tour took place in 2021. During this tour, the Indian team, led by Shikhar Dhawan, comprised mostly of younger players. The series included three T20Is and three ODIs.
Despite the absence of key Indian players, the team managed to secure a 2-1 victory in the ODI series but lost the T20I series 1-2. This series happened concurrently with the prominent Indian players being in England for a five-match test series.
